BPCS 3.0 Questions

[mdavidson <mdavidson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've just started at a company that is using a heavily modified version of 
BPCS 3.0 on the AS/400. They have not carried on the software maintenance 
for years. This is my first exposure to BPCS. My first task here is to 
bring the software up to Y2K compliance.  A challenge, but I believe I've 
got it under control (for now.)

My problem is that I've encountered some non-observable programs (of 
course, also without source.)  They begin with a call to SYS900, which 
calls some programs in the SYS65x series. I understand that these are 
probably used for security and license purposes. What I need to know is how 
these programs will react on 1/1/2000, and secondly, if/when we move to 
RISC, what are our options (other than paying big $$$ to SAA?)

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Mark
