Re: Leap year in BPCS CD 4.05 -- BPCS-L

Help Line SHOULD provide you with source code if you are current through 405 
CD Rel-02 which has a lot of Y2K fixes.  You SHOULD be able to tell help line 
that you need the latest version of the SOURCE CODE for 405 CD for a 
particular program.  Watch out - sometimes they update some program in a BMR 
or release but neglect to include source ... you have to ASK for it.  

Does your contract say you have a right to access?  There may have been a 
pricing variation in your original BPCS contract, in which you had a price 
break by not having the source code.  If they send you the executable, and 
you have not modified BPCS, you should be OK.  If you have modified BPCS, 
then that is not SSA responsibility, but whoever did the modifications & 
tested that they were working Ok.

Where is leap year not working for you?  
How come you did not find this out Feb of this year?

If you are on Rel-01 or Base 405 CD you cannot be possibly be Y2K compliant.  
Look at the documentation that came with Rel-02.  There were thousands of 
date related fixes in hundreds of different programs.

Am I confusing different posts?
RPG source is provided with V405 CD but not with V6.
If you are on V6 without Asset, then you cannot modify BPCS.

Was Genyphyr referring to V4 while Rosalie is referring to V6?
