So I dutifully called Cognos and have the version 729C8 sitting on > my desk. > Seems it uses the hardware clock instead of an HP intrinsic. here's my take on powerhouse and y2k and dates.... pre-7.29.c8 powerhouse (and yes that means the really old stuff mpe-v) has a bug in it regarding the calculation of 29 feb 2000. there is soft- ware available on congos' web site that you should get if your going to have 'old' cognos running into the next century. do a search for the word 'wedge' at the cognos site to find where they've got this buried. on a related topic...i found out yesterday that 7.29.c8 *won't* be supported after the middle-ish of next year. 8.19.?? should be available end-ish of june and is what cognos is recommending folks go to. 8.19 has a number of date enhancements that might prove helpful to folks. btw, 8.19 is build on mpe 5.0 (or maybe 5.5). the 7.xx is build on mpe 4.0. hth - d -- Donna Garverick Sr. System Programmer 925-210-6631 [log in to unmask] >>>MY opinions, not Longs Drug Stores'<<<<
