+=> 4 digit year conversion. The maximum is billions of years in the future, but this is a theoretical limit as the computation of that year would take too long with the current implementation of adodb_mktime(). Since version 5.20.13, the future date cutoff is limited to 200 years by default. This value is controlled by a constant which may be modified for user requirement.

 ===== Daylight Savings Time =====
 ADOdb date/time library does not support daylight savings time but you can write [[v5:datetime:custom_dst|your own function]].
+===== Future Date Cutoff =====
+For security reasons, the maximum future date that can be generated is defaulted to 200 years in the future. This is controlled by the constant ''ADODB_FUTURE_DATE_CUTOFF_YEARS'' which may be set as needed by the end user.
