Hi Jay

From your e-mail it is not clear that you are doing Y2K testing for
just set of independant programs or it is application software.

If it is application software, then check for how year and months are
defined. In many financial system Fiscal year 2000 starts on Oct 1999.
Based on this information, you may want do testing for year-end for
1999 Oct.
