The VARS system exists as a discrete online and batch application. The onlineapplication resides in the Back Office system and can be accessed via the Flexible

Loan menu in both Enquiry and Input modes. It currently possesses a number offunctions to enable users to display and / or update the Loan information for

accounts that exist on VARS.However, these functions and the underlying VARS loan information are not

currently available to TTP or any other system. The purpose of this project is tomake some of the loan information that is stored on VARS accessible to other

systems via creating a new VARS function which will subsequently call the existingVARS online functions to return the required VARS loan information.

During the Y2K conversion project, 1921 was decided as the Pivot year to identifythe century value. If the two-digit year is less than 21, it is then considered the

21st century. Otherwise, the year is considered 20th century. A few Y2K date

format conversion modules were created and dynamically called from programswhere this processing was needed. In addition, this pivot year is hard coded inmany of the mainframe applications and it has to be increased to a higher value

before 2021 in order for the applications to function properly.
