Fast/Reload date processing
This page presents date processing issues for Fast/Reload. The only use of dates within Fast/Reload is to examine the CPU clock (as returned by the STCK hardware instruction) to determine the current date, in case Fast/Reload is under a rental or trial agreement.
Note that Fast/Reload itself does not produce any results which depend on the content of any data which may be date values. However, since it does load content into Model 204 fields, if that content contains two digit year date values, the customer must ensure that any application using that data has an algorithm or rule for unambiguously determining the correct century for the values.
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 Model 204 must correctly process and transmit dates beyond 1999 in order for Fast/Reload to operate properly.
