For example, will your bank label "past
due" a loan payable on January 1, 2000? Will your
billing system fail to produce invoices on time? Will
your business go belly up when your computer cant
read dates ending in double zeroes? It may seem simple enough to add a century date indicator -- "mm/dd/yyyy." The complexity arises from the sheer number of lines of code that will be directly and indirectly affected in a typical company's systems, and the difficulty in restoring that code without disrupting daily operations. This problem will impact every enterprise that relies on date-related calculations and recordkeeping, from financial institutions and government agencies to utilities and insurance firms to credit card companies and more.
