Compilermessage for usage of two-digit Years.

As we want to eliminate all years with only 2 digits, we would like to have a compilermessage if the compiler detect at compiletime any usage of an two-digit year.
For this, any usage of the Date Patterns: YY,ZY, BIF Y4DATE(), Y4JULIAN() and Y4YEAR() or any Date/Time BIF with a WINDOW option (w) specified. Example: REPATTERN(d,p,q,w).

Compileoption: RULES(NOY2)

Thank you, Patrick

    Yes, that would be a nice feature. I think the message would not show _all_ fields but much more than I could find with my eyes. ;-)
