RE: Y2K testing

I found the document at www.softmall.ibm.com/as400/y2sysdat.html. 
  There's also a lot of other Y2K information on the AS/400 Year 2000 
web page at www.softmall.ibm.com/as400/year2000.html.

We need to do this soon. Could you give us the link, or at least which 
IBM
site you found it on?  We appreciate any help you can give.

Rich
