@td gives /OV

[Robert Repko]

Nancy,

Thank you for the reply.  PFCMARK is set to 25.  I have to use lower number because there are some people in the database that are old.

Robert,

Be sure to set PFCMARK to a number greater than 17, the higher the better. If all your dates are recent history, then use 80.  If you have birthdates or dates that need to be before 1980 then use a lower number. 
   It insures all the dates that use only the year and not the century will work correctly.

Ken suggested the PFCMARK variable but did not fully explain and it should be in your config, script or bat file  on any version of filepro.

Nancy
