Re: Y3K or not to Y3K

Booth,

I must assume that you just wanted to stir the pot. How anyone could
conceivably not use date/time/timestamp data types is beyond me! I would say
that it borders on evilness :-)

I for one wish that there were even more data types supported by DB2/400 UDB
what ever they are calling it this week :-) I would love to see and
auto-increment data type (and a smart one at that where it would auto
increment in the key structure above it, for example order detail line
numbers). I applaud IBM for giving us User defined types and User defined
functions. Now where to lay my hands on a V4R4 machine with the C compiler
:-)

Why oh why would anyone go back to a programming practice that has been
rotten since the mid 80s?

Sincerely
Eric
