ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a method for solving, for an interim period of up to seven years, what is commonly known as the year 2000 computer date problem. The method is based on utilizing the presently unused capacity of a two-digit computer month field, which is a constituent part of a six-digit computer date field, in the following manner. Each month in the years 2000 through 2006 is sequentially assigned one unique two-digit number greater than twelve while the year number is kept unchanged, as the dates are encoded and stored into the computer date fields on the computer media and in the computer memory during the years 2000 up through 2006. That ensures that during said period of up to seven years, the date as number keeps increasing with the passage of time and that each date is as number greater than any date in the years 1999 and the previous years, which are the essential requirements for computer's capability to do the manipulation (sort, retrieval, insertion, deletion, archival, etc.) of computer data records by date.
