记者听说,美国国防部在解决2000年问题上将投资11亿美元,这不是个小数目!充分表明了他们对2000年问题的重视和解决这个问题的决心。我国对2000年问题有哪些举措?应该如何正确认识和妥善解决这个问题呢?3月中旬,记者参加了由国家科委主办的”计算机2000年问题研讨会”,有幸与美国信息技术协会ITAA(Information TechnologyAssociation of American)主席 HarrisMiller 先生就2000年问题进行交谈,有颇多感想,欲与广大读者共同探讨。数年以前,由于编制计算机系统程序的人为了节省磁盘空间而采用以“mmddyy”形式表示日期,“yy”表示年份的最后两位数字,所以,当日期从1999年12月31日转入到2000年1月1日时,就会出现2000年被认为是1900年的问题。到时候,将给以年份日期进行计算的系统带来破坏,许多计算机系统都会发生故障,尤其对金融业(包括银行和保险公司等)和军事系统造成的危害更大。Miller 先生认为,这个问题并非只是政府所面临的问题,一切计算机应用
The reporter has heard that the U.S. Department of Defense will invest 1.1 billion U.S. dollars in resolving the year 2000 issue. This is not a small sum! It fully demonstrates their determination to attach importance to the year 2000 issue and solve the issue. In mid-March, the reporter attended the “Computer 2000 Symposium” hosted by the State Science and Technology Commission and was fortunate enough to work with the American Society for Information Technology (ITAA) (ITAA) on how to correctly understand and properly solve this problem. Information Technology Association of American President Harris Miller talking about the year 2000, there are many feelings, want to discuss with the readers. A few years ago, since the person making the computer system program used the date in the form of “mmddyy” to save disk space, “yy” said the last two digits of the year, so when the date was changed from December 31, 1999 to As of January 1, 2000, there was a question that the year 2000 was considered to be 1900. By that time, systems that date by year and year will be disrupted and many computer systems will fail, especially to the financial industry (including banks and insurance companies, etc.) and military systems. Mr. Miller believes that this issue is not just a problem faced by the government. All computer applications
