Y2K testing

[Shawn Gordon]

I'm not too up on Powerhouse, but I am doing all the Y2K remediation at a
client, and they have thousands of powerhouse programs.  From looking at
their code, and asking their programmers, there doesn't seem to be any date
functions within powerhouse, which absolutely shocks me, and I still refuse
to believe.  For example, is there a function to return a date that is the
first date of the current month, or the last day of the prior month - what
about straight date arithmatic?  Can you just add a value to a date type
var and it will correctly calculate it?

To address the testing of data, we are using DataWarp on the HP 3000 to age
the dates in both the Image databases and MPE/KSAM files.  Using this
method you can then verify that your programs work when your data spans or
totally exists in the new century.
