I have a CMMS system developed using GREV. I am wondering are there any Y2K issues associated with GRev. I know there are problems associated with the CMMS aplication programming. Just want to know how far to do I have to go with this correction so my CMMS system won't fail!! Can anyone help with this question????
I know there are several CMMS systems in this area with the same problems. I set them up :(
Thanks

The primary Y2k problem with G2b has to do with ICONV and the years
2001 thru 2009
a date entered as 01-01-1 will equate to 01-01-2001
a date entered as 01-01-01 will equate to 01-01-0001
thru
a date entered as 01-01-9 will equate to 01-01-2009
a date entered as 01-01-09 will equate to 01-01-0009
there are a couple of replacments available for ICONV. You can check
postings from a couple of weeks ago.
Note: ICONV does work correctly with MM-DD-CCYY logic if you are
planning to switch to 4 digit years

From any screen program, the subroutine Prompter in file
Verbs passes the typed date to the ICONV subroutine to store
the date internally.
If you don't mind messing with the original programming, code
can be put in this program to ensure a two digit date
is passed to the ICONV subroutine.
