ADVANCED SYSTEM TECHNOLOGIES LTD. "Datefind-db is an easy to use program which searches databases, spreadsheets (PC, mainframe and midrange / mini) and other file types, identifying any data that seems to contain dates which are NOT Year 2000 compliant. Compliance is determined by a set of user-defined and /or predefined search criteria."

Ptech, Inc. - Products Our integrated set of object-oriented methods and tools called FrameWork 5.1 for Windows lets you do it all: model and modify business processes, plus develop interrelated applications that incorporate your best practices, and generate software code directly from the business models. This dynamic integration means you can prototype changes in current procedures and view the impact of the changes immediately, before your engineers write a single line of code. The Abstract Code Generator lets you generate code in any language you want, including C++, Java, HTML, PDL, SQL, Corba IDL, or Forté TOOL, using the templates we provide, third-party vendors, or templates you build yourself.

Year 2000 C tool from BAI the Slicer, an analyzer for C source code How Can I Apply Slicing To The Millennium Problem? Slicing is great for all sorts of test and analysis tasks. In fact, the Slicer will be useful to you long after January 1, 2000, for that very reason. You can continue to use it to dissect your program for better readability, maintainability, etc. The Millennium Problem requires a very rigorous analysis and test exercise on a very specific problem. You need to find date variables that may cause a problem(s) during the century change. Once you have found them, it is highly desirable to separate the variables from the rest of the program and then test and change them in a standalone manner. In this way, not only do you have fewer source code lines to deal with, but the chance of introducing new problems is greatly minimized. Pulling out a Slice lets you work on just the affected source code and nothing else. Once you have made the required changes, the repaired Slice may be tested independent of the main source code. It is easier, quicker, safer, and more efficient. You get to spend most of your time working on the problem at hand instead of searching the source code to determine where to begin.

DISCOVER Y2K (for C/C++) scans and identifies every inter- and intra-dependency in your software, and then builds a complete and accurate Information Model of your entire software system. The Information Model is a highly associative repository that keeps track of every dependency, regardless of the size or number of your applications. With access to detailed, accurate information about the software, Year 2000 teams can begin assessing the size of the project before them, while simultaneously profiting from the combined expertise of the entire development organization. Because the Information Model is always up-to-date and accurate, it offers additional benefits to organizations well beyond the millennium date change. Leveraging DISCOVER Y2K after Year 2000 : Because the Information Model built to help with Year 2000 is a persistent, 100% accurate visualization of your software, organizations can utilize the technology long after their date-compliant issues are resolved.
