Re: Year 2000 Readiness of STUDENT/3000

Date: July 29, 1999

This memo serves as the official position by QSS on STUDENT/3000 and its readiness for operation in the year 2000.

STUDENT/3000 version D5 has been designed/architected in such a way that it will operate correctly with any date in this century and the next. Databases have been redesigned to store dates in CCYYMMDD format and date check algorithms have been written to operate on 8 digit dates.
Data entry screens continue to use 6 digits dates for input with the dates being converted to 8 digit format for storage in the database. Reports continue to report dates in 6 digit date format with the proper conversion being done from the 8 digit database format to the 6 digit report format. All date comparisons operate internally using the 8 digit date format.
Support for STUDENT/3000 version D5 will be handled in the same manner as existing QSS support. Customers who have a paid up QSS support contract may report software problems with STUDENT/3000 under the terms of the contract. QSS will provide software updates per the support contract. No fixes to STUDENT/3000 will be provided to customers who do not have a valid, paid-up QSS support contract.
