Can applications be built with this tool that adhere to the Microsoft Year 2000 Compliance Statement?
Yes
Operational Range for Data: from 1/1/1970 forward or backward 285,616 years.
How the product runtime handles dates:
JScript stores dates internally as 4-digit years. Developers should take care to enter dates in four-digit format, and to verify that dates entered by end users are interpreted as they expect.
Two-digit shortcut handling:
The JSCRIPT method .getYear() returns a 2-digit string for years within the operational range up to 1999. The method returns a 4-digit string for years within the operational range from 2000. Web authors can use the method .getFullYear(), which returns 4-digit dates.
The JSCRIPT function Date() interprets mm/dd/00 as 1900. If the Date() function is used with mm/dd/2000 it will return 2000.
Recommended practices to develop year 2000 compliant applications:
See http://www.microsoft.com/sitebuilder/magazine/y2kscript.asp for suggestions.
Common development errors dealing with year 2000 date issues:
JScript developers should be aware that the GetYear() function is not Year 2000 compliant. This is in accordance with the specifications and older versions of JScript and NetscapeÆs JavaScript. Developers who want the functionality provided by this function should use GetFullYear() instead.
Recommended developer action: Developers must be aware of this issue to write compliant applications. Using the obsolete GetYear() function when the desired behavior is given by the GetFullYear() function could cause developers to produce code containing Year 2000 logic errors. For more details refer to the recommended practices link above.
Testing guidelines and recommendations:
Since JScript is a programming language, developers should test their individual programs as appropriate for date issues. There are no general concerns common to all JScript programs.
