Does anyone know where I can get a Y2K compliant version of
DBU?

Thanks
 
I must be not understanding the question because I use DBU dailey and have no problems with Y2K.

Do you just want to have the dates displayed with the 4 digit year??
 
I probably have an out of date DBU. Because mine treats 00 as 1900. My DBU is dated 5/20/97. It is the version that was delivered with Clipper 5.3.

Any ideas of where to get an updated version?

Thanks
 
I modified the dbu source code to display the year 2000 correcttly. I added two lines after the "set key 28 to "
line, namely;
SET(_set_epoch, 1970)
Set Century on

This ensures that all years display as 4 digits and any year put in with only 2 digits displays correct.
 
I've got a copy of DBU, a friend modified to display the Century correctly, and does not have the standard limitation of columns displayed.

I could give you either the .exe, or possibly acquire the source if you're interested.

I would appreciate it if I could get a copy of a working .exe version of DBU

Thanks
 
REVINS;

I HAVE AN EXE VERSION OF DBU THAT HAS A PASSWORD AND IS Y2K COMPATIBLE. YOU CAN MODIFY THE DBU SOURCE AND RECOMPILE AND LINK IT YOUR SELF. SIMPLY ADD THE SET EPOCH COMMAND TO THE TOP OF THE PROGRAM AND COMPILE AND LINK IT. LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT THE EXE.
