Message: [QUOTE="Robert W. McAdams, post: 1712678"] It is certainly a much smaller problem than Y2000 was, since it will not require changes to files or databases (which, in turn, have to be coordinated with changes to all the programs that use those files/databases), and since application programmers will not have to wait for system software changes before addressing the problem. But it does mirror other aspects of Y2000, in that it will take effect everywhere at the same time and will affect all platforms and languages (which could potentially overload available staff if it is not dealt with in advance), and there is no way to determine which applications need to be changed short of actually looking at the logic in each one.
