And I am seeing this happen more and more in the marketplace. If implementation teams insist on installing the packages with two digit year options, they are making a rod for their own backs. What worries me especially is the mindset of the implementers. When I gently pointed out the problem and indeed make specific suggestions on how they can get it right, I meet absolute denial. They will not even consider the possibility that there could be a problem.
Mules are more pliant.
Now I would suggest that the marketing organisations behind SAP and BAAN had better address this issue now, before damage is done. The education process had better be modified rather quickly. The date options must be implemented on initial install, before any data is written to the database. We need specific installation hints and caveats, not marketing hype. I am seeing SAP being installed on NT 3.5 without Service Pack 5.
