Seasons Greetings!

The PH apps at this site have used four digit years since 1990 (no, it
wasn't great planning).  We will finish converting to PH8.19C in late
January.  We've checked the PH code using the top ten problem areas listed
in a recent support newsletter and didn't find anything.  We've also
checked the JCL for conditional execution of QTP & Quiz and found that it's
simply a case of a file existing or not existing, i.e., not date related.

What's the feeling on this list about setting the system clock ahead (or
using a date intercept program) and testing?  Is it A) mandatory, B) nice
to do, or C) not necessary?
I'd really like to get input from the Cognos people even if it's just their
own personal opinion and/or via private e-mail.

I made a decision a month ago and now I'm rethinking it so I'd like some
input from the list members.

Thanks.
