A method of dealing with the year 2000 problem, in which dates from the system clock are converted into BCD form using the first seven bits to represent the decade and year of the date as a number from 0 to 99. The eighth bit is used to distinguish between the centuries by having one value for the 20th century and a second value for the 21st century. Alternatively any one of the eight bits can be oscillated, the position of the bit being oscillated distinguishing among any of at least eight centuries.
