Those folks who, like me, have TS4 problems with ascii and
other format files which use YYMMDD date format may
be interested to know that
"only reported two days ago"
is the problem (yeah).
What kind of QC does that company have when this is one
of the most widely used date formats that exist throughout
the universe of third party data suppliers.
Oh WELL, now that this has been "reported" I'm sure they
are burning the midnight oil to fix it.
Remember, this reply comes after I had already gotten
a reply that said I had to change all my files to a YYYYMMDD
(4 digit year) format to work and be Y2K compliant .
