: :The year values are stored as the 4 digit values

: But how about importing year values from a generic ASCII-file? Now the YY-format specifier imports 2-digit year values. Will this be fixed before 2000?

The generic import format key for year is 'YY'. This key will import either 2 or 4 digit year values. If you are importing 2 digit year values FM assumes that numbers less than 50 are from the 21st century, and numbers greater than 50 are from the 20th century. When importing years with 4 digit years there is nothing to assume, and FM just imports the provided year.

Thanks,
