Description
The rollover point determines the numeric cutoff for which century (20th or 21st) is being referred to when representing the year in 2-digit format within a program. For example, if the rollover point is set to 30 (the default), specifying a 2-digit representation of the year between 00 and 29 means you are referring to the years 2000 - 2029. Conversely, specifying a 2-digit representation of the year between 30 and 99 means you are referring to the years 1930 - 1999.
Examples
The example below illustrates displaying the currently set rollover point. In this case, the default rollover point (30) is returned (as in, 01/01/1930).

>SET-DATE-WINDOW Current Date Window:30 |
The example below illustrates setting the rollover point to 60 (as in, 01/01/1960).
