bearcub, if you think AS/400s started cascading 9999 failures I got a bridge I will sell you.

You probably bought a generator so you could keep your lights on while you celebrate Jan 1, 2000 from your cave.

Hey Bearcub,

Do you have any links or text pointing to the technical details of how these 9999 errors occured? As a programmer, knowing how dates are stored internally, I can certainly see how Y2K can/will cause problems but I sure would like to understand what's going on internally to cause the 9999 failures you mentioned.

Thanks,

Bill
