Hi Clive,

Not necessarily so...

Once they get in to fix the millenium bug, there will be a very good chance that they will get other business. Once companies get their mission-critical systems Y2K compliant, they will want to get their non-mission critical systems Y2K complaint. There will also be contracts to maintain the systems that companies just spent real cash to become complaint. Who would be good candidates to get this business? Why, the personnel who just modified the system, of course!

True, the demand for COBOL programmers might decrease after the Year 2000 crunch, but they will still be a required resource in many mainframe shops for years to come.
