I would like to know where you read this. Maybe it has to have the ability to show 4 digits. But it is absurd to say that it is required to show 4 digits. What is the point of the ROLLOVER clause?

If you show 4 digits, you have to enter 4 digits when you enter dates in the YMD format.

>>Showing all four digits is not a nice thing to throw at the users. They enter a lot of dates and (strongly) prefer two digits.
