Re: YEAR 2K TESTING

[Laurin Bruck <lbruck@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In order to do this correctly, you will need to take a full backup of your 
system (not a savstg), then set the date to what you want it to be.  Then do an 
IPL.  Go about doing your testing.  When finished do a scratch install (IPL 
from the "D" side).  When you have your operating system reloaded then take 
option 21 from the restore menu.  IBM has a really cool Y2K website up there 
for the AS/400.  The URL is a follows 
http://www.as400.ibm.com/developer/year2000/y2sysdat.html

This URL is strictly for discussion on roll date testing only.    If you any 
questions please let me know what you need.

GUYS,

I need to know the details involve in testing for Y2K.  Right now, I'm
preparing to set the date to 01/01/2000 and perform all normal user
daily tasks on a weekend.  I will then reset the date back to current
date and users will get back on the following Monday performing their
normal tasks.  I'm I on the right track.  My OS is V3R7MO and I'm
currently on BPCS 6.0.2.

All your input will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Oludare
