Anyone with a basic understnding of the problem should be able to deal with it. For most systems it was really a one minute event. I was one who predicted in 1980 that Y2K would be a big problem, but I would be out of that business by then. It was, and I wasn't. What was the big problem? Two byte year of birth, two byte year of policy inception, two byte year of renewal date, blah, blah, blah. One byte year, two bytes month and two bytes year. Solution go through code and make 0 greater than 1. Oh, wait a minute were are talking Y2K, not 1979 to 1980. |
