century window
Category Syntax
Subject Cobol
A 100-year interval within which any two-digit year is unique. Several types of century window are available to COBOL programmers:
  • For windowed date fields, you use the YEARWINDOW compiler option.
  • For the windowing intrinsic functions DATE-TO-YYYYMMDD, DAY-TO-YYYYDDD, and YEAR-TO-YYYY, you specify the century window with argument-2.
  • For Language Environment callable services, you specify the century window in CEESCEN.
