Description: Describes Year 2000 fixes for computer systems, mainly based on using the ISO 8601 standard for dates.
This content is no longer maintained. Please visit our Let's Start with the Good News: The year 2000 -- Y2K -- problem is easy to describe and often simple to fix. It has three parts. The most common year 2000 problems result from software and data that does calculations on or was written with dates with two-digit years. Two-digit years have always worked in the past: subtract 1994 from 1998 or subtract 94 from 98 and you get the same thing. However, 2002-1998=4 isn't the same as 02-98=-96. Sorting on dates with two-digit years also fails -- 98 is clearly after 00, isn't it?
