SCO UNIX and Filepro 4.05

[Walter Vaughan Jr]

Has anyone run the clock up to January 19th 2038 in a while? SCO Openserver is 32 bit unix, and loops the data back to 1970 as I remember watching. I don't remember if I did anything with Filepro and date display.

I would think that 17-1/2 years from now anything that uses @CD @TD would need to be rewritten to use the 4 digit year storage, and probably will want to be running on a 64 bit OS.

You guys make my set up look state of the art!  Thanks.

Anyhow, I would not expect you see any trouble from PFCMARK in next 10 years. 

Regards,
Scott

Good morning,

 

This is my every few years dilemma. Long story short.Due to possible lack of support for SCO UNIX on newer hardware, Y2K patches in older software (filepro and RealWorld), much more and, etc., etc. I have been recommending that we move off to a modern system. However, things "currently work" so that does not provide an "impending event".  FIlepro upgrade is not up for consideration.

 

I am looking to see if anyone knows enough about the filepro Y2K "patch"
that can tell me how long we can expect filepro to work properly. I.e.
PFCMARK is currently set to 25. Is there a max number that this can be set to? Any other issues anyone is aware of? 

 

RealWorld Version 8 is another issue, but I assume this won't be discussed here. That said if anyone has comments about this, feel free to respond privately.

 

Thanks for any help.

 

Regards
