For those of you concerned about such things, the following is a summary of how PIE handles dates on or after the year 2000. PIE itself has no date limitations and the latest version contains options for processing input data in a variety of date formats.
Time information stored in a PIE data-file has no upper limit to the date. This is true for both the current and all previous versions of the program. The date format used for storage is based on the year 1900 and stored as a 4-byte integer value i.e. dates for the year 2000 and later are stored internally as values from "100" and higher.
The current version of PIE displays all dates as 4-digit numbers i.e. the year 2000 is displayed as "2000". The format used for this display has been tested for compatibility with other applications (e.g. Microsoft EXCEL) to ensure PIE output can be used by other programs.
The latest version of PIE accepts time information in a wide variety of formats to ensure data can be processed on or after the year 2000. Dates using the year "00" to represent the year 2000 are accepted. Options are available to allow ambiguous dates to be decoded correctly e.g. a date of "01/02/03" can be interpreted as "1-Feb-2003" or "3-Feb-2001" depending on the option selected.
