RE: Bypass2000 : Bringing the millennium

Hi Donna,
        We too are working across applications for a system. This means we are
spending large amounts of time trying to work out how to have one
application go live with 8 digit dates while other apps are using a six
digit version of the file.
The system we are working on still has code from 36 days that has not
changed, so you can imagine my nightmare.

        Anyway we figured out, for this week, how to deal with various versions 
of
the file, we think using triggers...
        But the you got cross application programs that are duplicated..

        I'll share tips with you if you need

Hi, Kris!  I'd be interested in hearing about your front-end tool.

We are using Search2000 and Bypass2000 in our conversion effort.  We've
had a few issues (Bypass won't convert CLP's and it doesn't convert 7,0
CYYMMDD date fields to 8,0 YYYYMMDD), but overall the project is
progressing as well as one can expect.  The changes are just grunt work.
What I find the most challenging is the determination of which
applications to work on in which order.  There are very few systems that
are stand alone and do not interface with others in some way.  We have
files that are used across almost all applications, but we can't change
the entire system in one shot.  Quite a dilemma, but one that I see
taking shape.
