Do you use QMS or LMS? That module (apparently written by a third party and incorporated into BPCS) is the one place we found in our Y2K testing of 4.0.5 (not CD) that uses a lot of system dates, which were not caught in our testing using CHGJOB. Also, did your dates include 2/29/00 and 3/1/00? Other than that, your testing strategy sounds very similar to ours (which, just a few weeks ago, past the scrutiny of our very picky outside auditors!).

(a) If BPCS has any code that gets its date from RTVSYSVAL (Retrieve System Value), that code does not get tested using the CHGJOB date substitution in JOBDATE. Does BPCS in fact get dates from RTSYSVAL or any equivalent methodology? If not, then the only place I need to check are the modifications added by myself & our consultants.

Bottom line, was CHGJOB an adequate testing strategy for Y2K compliance on BPCS 450 CD?
