For most systems, year 2000 support will be provided in version 1.8d
(contingent to operating system support for year 2000 of course). There
were all of 6 changes to make, of which 3 were to print yyyy instead of
yy and 2 were to provide a more reasonable default for yy in command
input (and one was a breakage). For VM, this will probably not be done
until 1999. Problem 1 is that we don't want to fix the REXX code that is
scheduled to go away before year 2000, and problem 2 is that we still
have a lot of S/370 customers to support, whereas the year 2000 capable
version of VM only supports XA.
