ABSTRACT:
A system is provided for converting representations of year. The system includes a database which stores a representation of year in either a two-digit format or a four-digit format. A processor, coupled to the database, converts the representation into the other of the two-digit format or the four-digit format if the represented year falls within a floating window of years. If the represented year does not fall within the floating window, the processor rejects the representation.
