SYMPTOMS
The NTMMTA Dispatch program incorrectly logs dates after 1999.

This problem occurs in the Central, Dirsync, Dispatch, and Dsserver logs. These logs use an incorrect date format, for example:   01/01/100 10:50:31 | Status  Report from NETWORK/POSTOFFICE/$SYSTEM The date format in the Central, Dirsync, Dispatch, and Dsserver logs is mm/dd/yy. Therefore, the date should change from xx/xx/99 to xx/xx/00. Instead, the date changes to xx/xx/100 for the year 2000 and xx/xx/101 for the year 2001.



CAUSE
The code working out the date format for the Central, Dirsync, Dispatch, and Dsserver logs was incorrect.
