Description
Specifies the default century to use when the date processing routines, specifically $DATECNV and $DATEDIF, convert a 2-digit year to a 4-digit year.
If the value of DEFCENT is 20, then a year of 96 is assumed to be 2096. When viewed, the DEFCENT parameter returns the century value, if this parameter is active, or NONE, if it is not.
The DEFCENT parameter will undefine the setting of the BASECENT and CENTSPLT parameters.
