Is there any COBOL developers? Do many COBOL programs use date function a lot that it will require 40 to 80% code modifications. This is very hard to believe!!! I did a lot of C, FORTRAN, ADA, PASCAL programming but really don't think there are many places for change. I have worked on many mission critical commercial applications. With my experience and knowledge in computer programming, I believe actual change won't take too much time but integration test and deployment effort will take both time and effort. I think $300-600 billion dollars to fix all y2k related problems in the global market should be broken down in: 1) development (identify + change) 30% 2) test + integration 50% 3) deployment 20% Anyone with different opionions? By the way, I shorted at 55 1/2 today. Jin
