Tested and proven capable of correct identification, manipulation, and calculation using dates outside the range of 1900-1999; or not dependent on dates in order to function.

A testing tool for Year 2000 compliance from NSTL.

Ready for the Year 2000.

An initial inventory of system data using 54 of 108 data elements identified by the Air Force Year 2000 Working Group.

The year a system is expected to experience Year 2000-related problems as a result of date projections.

Tested and proven capable of correct identification, manipulation, and calculation using dates outside the range of 1900-1999; or not dependent on dates in order to function.

Tested and proven not capable of reliably using dates outside the range of 1900-1999.

Year 2000 Problem. In the 1980s and before, most computer programs were designed to store only the last two digits of the years on all dates. When the Year 2000 comes, these programs will show dates of 00, which may be interpreted the same as 1900. This discrepancy may cause widespread problems, especially in the large computer systems used in government and big industries. Efforts to correct the problem before 2000 may be too late.
