Y2K OS/400

Nick,

While IBM has conducted extensive testing of OS/400, and its related
licensed progams, in conjunction with Y2K; a few bugs have been found and
will probably continue to be found. To simplify tracking of known Y2K
related problems, and their fixes, PTF coverletters are available by
release.  These coverletters should be periodically reviewed to determine
if your installations may be impacted.  The coverletters are:

V3R2    II11534
V3R7    II11543
V4R1    II11544
V4R2    II11545
V4R3    II11546

Note that not all of the PTFs listed in the above coverletters are
actual "bug fixes".  Many represent enhancements to ease development
efforts in preparing for Y2K in programming shops.
