Will your business be at risk?
If your computer processing includes date manipulation, it will be!
Misconceptions
- This is a problem that occurs only after the turn of the century.
- Any application that manipulates future dates will begin to experience problems well before the year 2000.
- This is a hardware problem that should be solved by the computer vendors.
- Even though the hardware is capable of handling four digit date fields, the problem comes from application programs and data using two digits for year representations
- Technically this is not a difficult problem to solve routine by routine.
- The degree of complexity is directly related to the inter-relationships between programs and applications and the data passed between them.
- By changing the code my problem will be fixed.
- You must also make changes to your data dictonary, data bases, files, programs and any other data that uses the two digit date representation.
- There is plenty of time until 2000.
- The review and modification of applications takes time.
- Integrating design changes into development cycles takes time.
- Securing skilled resources takes time.
- Trying to handle the problem in real time will disrupt your customer services, and the business impact will be significant.
- Each day that passes allows more data to be added to your data bases, and routines and programs added to your system.
