Two-digit years less than or equal to the <b>centuryCutoff</b> belong to the next century; two-digit years greater than the <b>centuryCutoff</b> belong to the previous century.</p><p/><p>For example, if the <b>centuryCutoff</b> is set to 50, and the current year is 2000, then the date 4/12/51 is interpreted as being in the year 1951, while the date 4/12/50 is interpreted as being in 2050.</p><p>Since the <b>centuryCutoff</b> is a <href tag="../dictionary/local_property.xml">local property</href>, its value is <command tag="reset">reset</command> to 35 when the current <glossary tag="handler">handler</glossary> finishes <glossary tag="execute">executing</glossary>. It retains its value only for the current <glossary tag="handler">handler</glossary>, and setting it in one <glossary tag="handler">handler</glossary> does not affect its value in other <glossary tag="handler">handlers</glossary> it <glossary tag="call">calls</glossary>.</p>
