  • Subject: AS/SET and Y2K

AS/SET seems to have a plethora of Y2K issues.

1)  If you edit, (alas, no view), a program and then exit without saving, 
it will restore your oldest 1999 version instead of any year 2000 ones.

2)  Don't know if this second item is a problem but we are taking no chances.  
You can run an AS/SET program to reorg the AS/SET files.  One of the parameters 
is how many of the saved definitions do you want.  We always set it to 1.  We 
run it every Monday at 1am.  For next Monday we kicked it up to 2.  We want to 
see if it saves the last 1999 one, and the last y2k one.  Judging by the fact 
the last change date on the source is 1990, (from DSPPGM), we feel that it's a 
safe bet that it's not y2k compliant.

3)  The AS/SET date conversions have many bugs but most of them were addressed 
in the latest version.  Apply the latest version and regen your programs.
