Function/Subroutine Documentation

function i4dy (   IDATE)

This function converts a date-time with a 2-digit year (YYMMDDHH) to a date-time with a 4-digit year (YYYYMMDDHH) using a windowing technique.

All 2-digit years greater than 40 are assumed to have a 4-digit year beginning with 19 (i.e. 1941-1999), and all 2-digit years less than or equal to 40 are assumed to have a 4-digit year beginning with 20 (i.e. 2000-2040). If the input date-time already contains a 4-digit year, then the function simply returns that value.

Program History Log:

Date Programmer Comments
1998-07-08 J. Woollen Original author
1998-12-14 J. Woollen Modified to use 20 as the 2-digit year for windowing to a 4-digit year (00-20 ==> add 2000; 21-99 ==> add 1900)
2003-11-04 D. Keyser Modified date calculations to stop using floating point arithmetic since this can lead to round off error and an improper result on some machines
2018-06-29 J. Ator Changed 2-digit->4-digit year window range to (00-40 ==> add 2000; 41-99 ==> add 1900)
