Could this be a problem in the Sabre code, from the early 1960's? (pre-Y2k updates). American and Sabre separated their businesses in 2000, but some code might be in use.
American Airlines developed Sabre in conjunction with IBM. The project was famously started by the chance encounter of an IBM salesman and the American Airlines president being seated next to each other on a flight in 1957.

Yes.
The format for date of birth is DDMMMYY
Eg January 12 2023 would be
12JAN23
And February 17 1994 would be
17FEB94
I think you can see where this is going
January 12 1923 would also be
12JAN23
