RE: Y2K heads up - is this trouble???

[Sannan Solberg <SSolberg@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I vote for March 2nd, 2001!  I would hope that your systems "date format"
would be handling this issue.  (i.e.: should something typed in be seen as
dd/mm/yy or mm/dd/yy or other...)

To me, 03/02/01 represents 3rd Feb 2001 ... this one has been going on a
long time - it's not just a Y2K issue!

Subject:  Y2K heads up  - is this trouble???




I was expecting a scare in the news about y2k fears next year, but haven't
noticed anything.

Maybe because of the presidential mess, everyone is watching something
else!

During year 2000, it was implicit in every date which digits represented
the
year.

01/02/00 was obviously January 2, 2000.

00/06/03 was obviously June 3, 2000.


Next year it will not be so obvious!

What is 03/02/01?  March 2nd, 2001?   Or February 1st, 2003???

What is 01/02/01?  January 2, 2001?    Or February 1st, 2001???

When a clerk keys in an order date or ship date (or blood expiration
date!!), I hope they know where the year should go!!!


Just something to ponder!!!

Has anyone seen this in the press???
