1. Yes, we have a lot of BASIC V code.  It runs very well and there has been
   no need or interest in translating the code to another language or
   rewriting the code in another language.
 
2. We use the CALENDAR and CLOCK intrinsic format throughout all our
   BASIC V and SPL applications, so we won't have a problem until the end
   of 2027.  Most of the COBOL applications use CALENDAR and CLOCK, and
   those that don't now use 4 digit year fields.
 
3. Sorry, can't help there.  We haven't found anything that needs to
   be changed.
