Re: Y2K Suggestions?

"and variables characteristics like a compile cross reference...but I would also
actually see the manner the data was in the field."

Tim - if your intent is to study the data to determine the year sensitive
fields and their formats, may I suggest you save yourself a ton of time and
money and simply invest in one of the Y2K impact tools that scan the data
_in_the_files_ to identify dates and then follow that by determining the
impacted programs.  Even if you are on a tight budget, there are a number of
relatively low-cost tools that can do this.  IBM's SEARCH2000 will do it as
will PowerTools and others.  It may be fun to "roll your own" but in most cases
it's a complete waste of money.
