                  CreateDate(year, month, day)

Returns a date/time object for the given date. The time value is set to 00:00:00. For the year parameter of the function, ColdFusion MX accepts years in the range AD 100-9999. ColdFusion MX uses the underlying JRE as well as the current locale to determine how to process two-digit years. For most locales, two-digit years are processed relative to the current century. Based on this, two-digit years are interpreted to within 80 years before the current date and 20 years after. There are a few exceptions to this. The following locales interpret two-digit years to within 72 years before the current date and 28 years after: English (Australian), English (New Zealand), German (Austrian), German (Standard), German (Swiss), Portuguese (Brazilian), Portuguese (Standard), Swedish. Example:

April 15, 2003 looks like: 
<cfoutput>
Four digit year: #CreateDate(2003, 04, 15)#<br>
Two digit year#CreateDate(03, 04, 15)#
</cfoutput>
