RE: Broken date support on old releases?

We hit a program from 1992 that stopped working on 1/1/2019. Bad piece of logic that we are replacing with an SQL statement.

As a programmer who worked on Y2K remediation, I've been expecting things
like the to crop up. One of the methods for dealing with Y2K was
windowing the last two digits of the year. I always opted for 40 as the
break point, but I know a lot of programmers who opted for 20 or even
lower.

BTW, I've been trying to migrate these customers to current machines, even hosting them on current hardware, but the longevity and self-management features of the system lead to some customers not even thinking of upgrading...
