This page presents date processing issues, including usage of
<var class="product">SirFact</var> past the year 1999, an explanation of its processing of dates,
and any rules and restrictions you must follow to achieve correct
results using date values with <var class="product">SirFact</var>.
<var class="product">SirFact</var> uses dates in the following ways:
<ul>
<li>To examine the CPU clock (as returned by the STCK hardware instruction) to determine the
current date, in case <var class="product">SirScan</var> is under a rental or trial agreement </li>

<li>To set the procedure name for a <var class="product">SirFact</var> dump to contain
the date and time at which the dump was created. These timestamps always use a four-digit year. </li>

<li>To display the current date, as returned by the TIME SVC
(if the <var class="product">Sir2000 User Language Tools</var> product is active, the date is obtained by temporarily switching
the clock using the <code>APPDATE INTERNAL</code> command) as page headers in various end-user displays.</li>
</ul>

For headers on pages or rows that occur on printed pages or displayed screens,
<var class="product">[[RKTools]]</var> products generally use a full four-digit
year format, although they may display dates with two-digit years in circumstances where the proper century can be
inferred from the context.

You must examine all uses of date values in your applications to ensure that
each of your applications produces correct results.
Furthermore, both the operating system and <var class="product">Model 204</var> must
correctly process and transmit dates beyond 1999 in order for
<var class="product">SirFact</var> to operate properly.
