ITEM: RS4000003303



Question........:                                                               
                                                                                
Hi,                                                                             
Can you possibly advise me re Year 2000 and AIX 3.2.5?                          
I am reliably informed that 3.2.5 IS year 2000 compliant.                       
However, The Year 2000 and 2 Digit Dates Planning and Implementation            
suggests that a PTF is required to make it so.                                  
Can you possibly clarify what fix if any is required?                           
Many Kind Thanks                                                                
                                                                                
Answer..........:                                                               
Here's what was said on the Year 2000 forum :-                                  
                                                                                
AIX 3.2.5 is year 2000 compliant, although depending on the products            
you                                                                            
have installed you may need to apply some PTFs.
