The value of "02" in SIG: indicates a 2-digit year, such as "87". A value of "04" would mean a 4-digit year, such as "1987". Similar edits are provided for EDIT TYPE "D" and "Y".
The value of "00" in DEC: indicates that any valid year will be accepted.
As a default, MAGEC will automatically reformat dates into YYMMDD (or CCYYMMDD) as they are moved to the database.
MAGEC also handles leap-year and centesimal editing.
