From the 2.6 documentation:

Use SET CENTURY to specify how date variables and functions are displayed.

ON
SET CENTURY ON specifies a four-digit year format that includes 10 characters (including date delimiters).

OFF
SET CENTURY OFF specifies a two-digit year format that includes eight characters and assumes the twentieth century for date calculations. This is the default setting.


In later versions, the behavior was changed to match the current century. However, I don't see any real reason to use SET CENTURY OFF in programs -- then there's no way to tell the program that yes, you really did mean 1901 instead of 2001....
