Y2K Versions

[Walker Chris]

I am concerned about the extent to which a version upgrade will invalidate
the Y2K modifications and testing we have been engaged in for the past year.
To tell the truth, it is very disturbing to find out at this stage that the
version we started with (7.10E) is not Y2K compliant.  It is really far too
late to start again with new Powerhouse versions, and I am at a loss to
understand why Cognos has left this to the last minute.

What sort of upgrades are 7.10F2 and 7.10G?  

Will we need to recompile?

Are there any other changes in these version which may destabilize our test
plan?
