spss options/set century range

[Raffe, Sydelle, SSA]

I selected to create a custom range (1911- 2010) instead of the default, but spss is not paying attention. Year 33 becomes 2033 instead of 1933. Suggestions?

This setting only affects new values entered or read. It does not affect existing values. So you cannot, for example, read in a file with two-digit year values and then change the century range. You have to change the century range first.
