Y2K QUESTION

[Deskin, Bob]

Whoa. There's a mix here. PowerHouse 6.10 is not certified as Year 2000
compliant because of the bug I mentioned earlier. However PowerHouse
does understand that Feb 29, 2000 is a leap day and has since 1986
(version 5.01 on MPE/V, 5.04 on OpenVMS). So your data is safe and so is
your processing until you get to a system date where the bug starts. You
should upgrade to a compliant version before then. And yes, 7.10.G is in
field test now and include century windowing features. There's an input
century window that can be applied to date input instead of the default
century. There's also a new CENTURY function that can be used to apply a
century window as required.
