Actually ,though I may be wrong, I think this avoids a Y2k problem in that on January 1 I can change the SQL text from 19 to 20. Just now testing I find that %Y does give a four digit year and if I'm not mistaking this should be Y2K compliant because of Zope's compliancy. Had you not responded I probably wouldn't have given it another thought but instead now I don't have to remember to go back and switch 19 to 20. Thanx Thomas Michael Bernstein wrote:

Here is what I use to put the current date into a MySQL field: "<dtml-var ZopeTime fmt="19%y-%m-%d">" 1999-04-25
Um, is it just my imagination, or are you introducing a Y2k problem here?
Isn't there a four digit year format string?
