Defense computers LSSC needs to confront significant year 2000 issues

This report focuses on the Logistics Systems Support Center's (LSSC) program for solving its Year 2000 computer system problem, which stems from the inability of computer programs to interpret the correct century from recorded or calculated data having only two digits to indicate the year. LSSC's Commodity Command Standard System supports the Army's wholesale logistics supply management business effort, which buys more than $23 billion worth of supplies and equipment each year for troops around the world. Unless LSSC overcomes its Year 2000 problem, the Commodity Command Standard System could malfunction or generate incorrect information, potentially jeopardizing military missions. GAO discusses the (1) status of LSSC's effort to correct Year 2000 problems and (2) appropriateness of LSSC's strategy for addressing Year 2000 problems affecting the Commodity Command Standard System.
