Separate the 4 digit year from a date in the form YYMMDD or YYYYMMDD
Introduced in release: 1.0 Component: Generic Purpose:
Takes a 4-byte integer date in the form YYMMDD or YYYYMMDD and breaks out the year into a separate variable.
Results:
The broken out year is returned as the value of the function. The broken out year is always a 4 digit year even if the date was in the form YYMMDD. The variable next_century is used to determine which century the year is in. If year is greater than next_century then the year is 19YY else the year is 20YY.
