Y2K Issues & Cognos

[Deskin, Bob]

Our web site has a list of compliant versions on all platforms and I've
posted it here (which doesn't help if you've just signed up).

On MPE/iX versions 7.29.C8 and up are certified as compliant. We have no
plans to test using QDD since it is not a supported dictionary. However,
if anyone has any information about year 2000 problems with QDD, I'd
love to hear about them so that I can pass on the information to other
customers. By teh way, keep in mind that QDD assumed CENTURY EXCLUDED
whereas PDL assumes CENTURY INCLUDED.
