DTOS() function always returns 4 digits for the year regardless on the CENTURY settings otherwise how would we use DTOS in indexes? You need to use different TRANSFORM functions.


>These two CASE conditions return "20051013" as the NewFieldValue, regardless of the CENTURY setting. It is a function in a SQL statement column, if that matters.
