RE: BPCS 3.0 Questions

Your task is a very manually intensive task!  If you are considering tools 
available to help ease the pain of your task, take a look at Focus/2000, 
specific to BPCS v3.0, try web site www.nexgeninfo.com, or 630 778 7500.
Good luck!

Subject: BPCS 3.0 Questions

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
