X 7.1.11 DATE-TO-YYYYMMDD

X The DATE-TO-YYYYMMDD function converts argument-1 from a date with a
X 2-digit year (YYnnnn) to a date with a 4-digit year (YYYYnnnn).
X Argument-2, when added to the year at the time of execution, defines the
X ending year of a 100-year interval, or sliding century window, into which
X the year of argument-1 falls.

X The function type is integer.

X If the DATEPROC compiler option is in effect, then the returned value is
X an expanded date field with implicit DATE FORMAT YYYYXXXX.
