Software checked to be a Year 2000 compliant

SAS
The software is year 2000 compliant. For details, see the following page.

SPSS
Versions 6.x and 7.x will function correctly over year 2000.

For more information see SPSS Inc. site.

LISREL and HUDAP
Those two statistical software do not have date functions, therefore the Year 2000 problem does not concern them.

Microsoft Products
All Microsoft products support dates with 4 digits beyond year 2000.
Most of the products handle right dates of 2 digits, at least between 1920-2019, beside ACCESS 7, that fails to handle it.
For more information, see Microsoft page of year 2000 Issue - Frequently Asked Questions.

MAGIC
Applications which hold the year as 4 digits - have no problem.
Problems are not expected in versions 5.xx and up.
There is a tool to identify what should be changed to convert from 2 to 4 digits.

Mathematica
The Mathematica application package contains no known problems with regards to what has come to be known as the "year 2000 problem". All internal representations of dates within the computational kernel are in the form of high level expression structures which are capable of representing arbitrary dates.
For more information, see Wolfram page.

Maple V
Maple V Release 4 does not depend on the current date for operation. It does not utilize the current date in its calculations, or in its graphical user interface, and does not contain date-based functionality, hence behaves consistently for dates prior to, during, and after year 2000.

MATLAB
MATLAB is year 2000 compliant because it represents data in 8 byte double precision floating point.
For more information, see the producer statement.

MINITAB
The old versions does not refer to any date. The last version R11 handles fine the year 2000 rollover.

GB-STAT
There should be no problem.

There should be no problem with word processors and graphical software, since its does not refer to a specific date.


Of course, if you plan on replacing your PC and upgrading your software tools before then, you should not have any problems. You should check with your vendors to guarantee that their new offerings are year 2000 compliant.

In any Case, You should consider to convert all dates in your applications to hold 4 digits.
