Re: Y2.1K Compliance

The ONLY thing I can think of here, apart from a typo in their request for '2100
compliance', is the fact that 2100 is NOT a leap year, while 2000 was.

Unless there is something in some of the standard AS/400 date
formatting/conversion that has a limit in its range (eg 1920 to 2060).

Apart from that, anything that handled 2000 ok should be alright in 2100.

Subject:  Y2.1K Compliance




Has anyone had a request to make their databases/programs Year 2100
compliant?   We've got a healthcare company requiring this in a contract and
I'm not sure how to respond.  We use 8-digit date fields, so I don't see a
problem, but I'm not sure how to prove it.  Are there any standards being
set in the legal/contractural community on this?
