7037.0. "Y2000 status of DECnet SNA RJE " by TKOV50::SA_SUZUKI (Remember Honesty) Sat Mar 08 1997 03:06

Reading "Year 2000 Product Readiness" at 
http://www.digital.com/year2000/y2kread.htm, the status of DECnet SNA RJE
is 4. This means "Not ready - no plan in place to be ready for Year 2000".

I don't know what Y2000 problems DECnet SNA RJE has. Could anyone explain
the Y2000 problems of RJE ?


Thanks,

    There is no plan in place bacause no one asked for a plan.
    
    There is a 2 byte date field used internally. This needs to
    be investigated and a solution worked out before compliance
    is met.

7037.2more explanations, plsTKOV50::SA_SUZUKIRemember HonestyTue Mar 11 1997 19:5516
Hi Bill,

I need more explanations. Reading RJE manuals, /AFTER is an only 
qualifier which relates to time. Absolute time, delta time, and
combination of absolute/delta times are used in /AFTER. Do you 
mean only 2 byte YY is used even if a user enter YYYY ?

If a your don't use /AFTER qualifier, doesn't Y2000 problem happen ?

And, pls let me know who I should ask to solve the problem ?
Product manager ?


Thanks,
Satoshi
