Description

DEFCENT 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, DEFCENT returns the century value, if this parameter is active, or NONE, if it is not.

The DEFCENT parameter will un-define the setting of the BASECENT and CENTSPLT parameters.
