As outlined in the following Year 2000 test criteriae, the LMS2000 and related systems will correctly process date specific data across the 1st of January 2000 threshold.
Test Criteriae
LMS2000 and related software products meet the following conditions :
* The product stores and calculates dates in 4 digit format for all internal procedures.
* In some cases, the software displays or accepts input in a 2 digit format but is automatically converted and stored in a 4 digit format.
* The product will correctly perform leap year calculations (e.g. report from 05/10/1998 until 06/02/2001)
* Although MSDOS Version of the LMS2000 has also been tested successfully for the Year 2000, we can not guarantee that MS DOS Operating System itself will still be existing. Therefore, we invite our current DOS customers to upgrade to the latest MS-Windows Version (V2.9c) prior to the Y2000 threshold.
