SCANALYZER: THE SOLUTION TO FINDING YEAR 2000 PROBLEMS

Lyndhurst, NJ: Arthur Hendela, president of Hendela System Consultants, Inc., announced the release of the SCANALYZER YEAR 2000 SOLUTION software. "The SCANALYZER software is the economical answer to the daunting task of finding Year 2000 problems in computer systems," said Hendela. This program is being used by Fortune 500 companies nationwide, he added.

The Year 2000 problem is large in scope. When computers started being used commercially in the 1970’s, software developers made an economic decision to use only the last two digits of the year. For instance, the year 1971 became "71". They saved money and memory space which was at a premium rate.

Now, the century is coming to a close. Companies, both large and small, must update their computer programs to recognize the Year 2000. If they do not, programs such as billing, scheduling, and maintenance will become inoperable. This inoperable condition is brought about by the computers interpreting the two digit ‘00’ as 1900 instead of 2000.

"The year 2000 problem is more widespread than most people think," said Hendela. "The problem doesn’t just exist on large mainframe systems. Mid-sized and small computer systems also have the problem," he added.

"The SCANALYZER software is made to help find the problems regardless of the size of the company or program," Hendela said. The software identifies the computer program code which may need to be updated. The program is for use by all mainframe, LAN, and workstation environments which can export text files to Windows 3.1x or Windows 95 PCs. It is compatible with all text based programming languages such as Nomad, Foxpro, RPG, COBOL, and C.

"The program is straightforward in its finding of Year 2000 problems. It’s both rapid and user friendly," according to Doug Miller, a consultant in the development of the SCANALYZER software.

For less money, the program "frees up valuable resources and provides a quick search method to see where the problems lie," said Jeff Miller, another member of the SCANALYZER team.
