Assignment:
Read and summarize three articles on Y2K (pass in the name of the site and a few paragraph
summary - note, I have listed some web sites on our page).
Run the program called convdate.cbl. It was originally written for years in the 1900 series.
Determine whether it works when the 2000s are used. Try extremes such as 1900, 1901, 1902,
2000, 2001, 2002 etc as well as some years in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and 2010s. Does it work?
If not where are the problems? Fix any problems you encounter.
Run the program called dayofwk.cbl. This program was specificallys set to work with the end of
1999 as the point it works from. Will this program work in the year 2000? If not, modify the
