SuperC includes features designed to help manage the Year 2000
transition:
- Specify a 100-year period (or "year window") so that, for
dates that have only a 2-digit year, the century can be determined.
This can be based on either:
- A "fixed" year window (with a fixed starting year), or
- A "sliding" year window (starting at a specified number
of years before the current year).
- Compare 2-digit year values in one data set with 4-digit year
values in another data set.
- Compare compressed year values in one data set with uncompressed
year values in another data set.
- Filter cosmetic differences caused by adding century digits to
2-digit years, so that you can more easily identify real differences
in content.
