But, it also adds additional overhead (additional CPU cycles) and can even introduce additional errors. In can also mean that systems can be "out of sync". One of my clients that used the windowing technique exclusively used two different cut-over dates (1950 and 1970). This discrepancy did not exist before the code was modified for Y2K.<<< Got a guestimate as to how many companies went down the "windowing" road? Is that choice peculiar to certain types of businesses or sectors? TIA
