Hi,
 
I've been lurking about for a while in the UK as well and joined this group
mainly to get help on year 2000 issues on the 3000.
 
Much of our software is inhouse and uses the good old TurboIMAGE/COBOL/VPLUS
combination. Mainly we look to be opting to place bits of code into programs
that check if a date, in YYMMDD format, is less that, say 300101 and if so
assume it's year is >= 2000 otherwise it's 19xx. We are reckoning on having
some other systems in place before 2030!! :-)
 
Any other ideas guys?
 
TTFN Grant.
