Y2K

[Mark Lazarus <mlazarus@xxxxxxxx>]

 I would like to know how people here are handling the Y2K problem.

 Some options:

1) Throw out what you have and start over w/ a new package.

2) Throw out what you have and start over w/ a new homegrown system.

3) Use a Y2K analyzer and make the mods inhouse.

4) Use a Y2K analyzer and outsource the mods.

5) Retire December 31, 1999.

6) "Problem?  We don't have no stinkin' problem!!!"

7) Other (please elaborate).

 If 3 or 4, which analyzer are you (or will be) using?  Are you happy w/
what it provides, i.e. how thorough is it, does it make suggested code / DB
changes?  Does it handle RPG IV? Any other languages?  How is the vendor
support?  How much is the package?  Overall, how good a value is it?

 How are you handling other systems - PCs, S/36, DECs, HP, other?  If you
are making changes to a existing systems, are you using a change management
package?  If yes, which one(s)?

 Misc:  Are you making enhancements at the same time?  Are you consolidating
diverse systems?

 Does anyone have a writeup that they'd like to share?

 TIA.
