Complete Form YearChecks the value in the Year field. It removes any white spaces and converts a 2-digit year into a 4-digit format. If the last two digits are numeric and start with 9, it converts the value to the 1900’s (for example, 99 converts to 1999). Otherwise, it assumes the date is from the 2000’s (for example, 24 converts to 2024).
