OT: date problem

[GCC Consulting]

Let me first say this IS NOT A FILEPRO PROBLEM.	

My client uses edi to send his daily invoice schedule to his factor.  This just
lists the invoice date - mdyy/, invoice #, customer, and invoice amount.

I generate an ASCII file which is processed by a dBase program(yea, I know, the
enemy) which creates the VICS edi format required. They have been doing this for
over 3 years without a problem.

Do to an incorrect invoice date. They called the factor and advised them that
the date would need to be changed and the schedule resent.  At this point, they
were advised that the invoice date transmitted was 20200810.  That's right 2020.

We corrected the date to 08/11/2004, regenerated the transmission.  Again we
were advised that the year was 2020.

I examined the dbf file used to create the edi file and the date there was
8/11/2004. The programmer who handles the EDI portion had already left his
office so I couldn't check the last piece of the puzzle, his translation
program.

As this has worked for more then 3 years, can anyone think of a reason that the
program would cause this type of problem?  Monday's transmission was OK.
