(...) at least at the unix epoch, most of the code won't have to be changed - the assumption here is that we won't be using 32-bit boxes anymore, so a long int will be a lot longer :) :) Dan (24 years ago, 10-Apr-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: CGI question
 
(...) Oh, but no one will *possibly* be using the same code in 29 years. We don't need to worry about that. *much laughter* The unix epoch rollover is gonna be another one.... (24 years ago, 10-Apr-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)  
 
  Re: CGI question
 
(...) Yeah, the windowing/epoching/whatevering isn't a big deal. The thing is, they *hardcoded* the 29. They didn't even make it a constant, defined at the top of the code (or in a copybook). So in some number of years, someone is going to have to (...) (24 years ago, 10-Apr-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: CGI question
 
(...) Sure. That's a pretty typical Y2K fix. And it's basically what you do as a human when looking at a two-digit year.

(...) Scary bit of COBOL code one of my co-workers ran across today (he was given the code because it's the closest thing to documentation available for a file he has to deal with): IF FLD_XYZ_YR < 29 THEN FLD_XYZ_YR4 = 2000 + FLD_XYZ_YR4 ELSE (...)
