American Software (ASI) Packaged Swr

[Guest.Visitor]

Is anybody out there using a manufacturing package from American Software Incorporated? I am new to this shop and need to run a PO purge program that hasn't been run since they installed the current release of this software, 3.03051 about 3 years ago! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Martin Carpenter

Frank, Why do you think the Y2K would be an issue? The purge program takes several parameters when considering POs to purge, among them are a date range for when the PO was closed. I surely won't give it anything beyond 12/99. But I am curious to know what your angle is. Thanks, Martin

Thanks, Martin ************************************************** ******************** I'm raising the issue of how dates are stored throughout the entire software package not just this one program. How are dates stored in the entire package? In the program that you specifically mention, you say that you won't give it anything beyond 12/99. What about a year from now? What about two years from now? Just an old mainframer caught in the Web!
