DF_EPOCH_VALUE

DF_Epoch_Value sets the two-digit year value below which dates are considered to be in the 2000s. All other dates are considered to be in the 1900s.

DF_Epoch_Value, combined with DF_Date_4_State, manages the running program's behavior in the entry of dates with two-digit years.

DF_DATE_4_STATE_ONLY_ON_PARSE changes the DF_DATE_4_STATE behavior to only apply the EPOCH logic when parsing a String into a Date type.
