re: TSRI release from ZITL post #2129

"The company believes there are two factors that distinguish CATCH/21 from other approaches. The first is that the conversion process is 100% automated, in that there is no involvement on the part of the client in the conversion process other than providing test scripts and files for execution of the acceptance test. The second factor is cost. At 20 cents per line-of-code, the company believes its solution is significantly less expensive than other methods."

TSRI release describes this as the solution. Not as a step towards the solution. Think about it, would a company tell you a price for a partial solution only to surprise you with a bill for five times that for the total solution. Not a company that wants more than one customer.

Being a C programmer it isn't hard to understand that the solution isn't all that difficult to accomplish. A program can be written to discover the code that deals with the two digit year code and can then replace that code with the new updated four digit code. I believe that is what TSRI means by a 100% automated Y2K conversion solution.
