I wouldn't think there is any "way" to do RPT/RPF Y2K compliant as all RPTs I've made always use character for dates. The RR is supported by the RDBMS and hence should be available to the RPT/RPF. But I started already in 92 to extend dates to 4 digit years due to this problem.

So personally I wouldn't count on any "Oracle official message" giving RPT the Y2K approval.
