April 30, 1999 Wall Street Passes Year 2000 Test all Street firms and exchanges completed extensive mock trading of stocks, bonds and other securities simulating the end of December and the start of next year with almost no interruptions from Year 2000 computer problems, according to a summary of the results released Thursday by the Securities Industry Association. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE Y2K PROBLEM Index of Articles What does the Y2K issue say about our increasing reliance on technology? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The tests measured nearly 260,000 steps in thousands of transactions with the 400 participating firms encountering slightly more than 50 failures to handle Year 2000 dates correctly, the trade group said. The glitches were fixed quickly enough for the trades they affected to be completed on schedule, according to the report. As expected, the results were in line with progress reports the group had been issuing since the tests began. The test was the biggest scheduled by the $300 billion industry, which has widely been viewed as a leader in addressing Year 2000 concerns. Industry officials emphasized that many more limited tests remain on the agenda, starting tomorrow with a test of Wall Street's links with market data suppliers like Reuters and Bloomberg. The industry also continues to worry about the potential impact of problems in foreign markets and about contingency plans to deal with unexpected problems at home or abroad.
