ConSyGen 2000 toolset to be used in conversion services project for Strategia.PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 25, 1997--ConSyGen Inc. (CSGI CSGI Common Spatial Gateway Interface : NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on BB) announced today an agreement with Strategia Corp. (STGI STGI Sim Toolkit Get Information : NASDAQ) for the use of the ConSyGen 2000 toolset in a millenium conversion services project for Strategia's client, the Department of Employment Security of the State of Tennessee. Strategia is currently engaged in providing Year 2000 services to the client, including conversion of transaction processing systems, overall project management and application testing at its compliance testing centers. Strategia has sub-contracted the conversion phase to ConSyGen who will perform the project with its proprietary automated conversion toolset, ConSyGen 2000 (patent pending). The project will involve the automated conversion of all of the client's software applications running on a BULL DPS Minicomputer series from Bull HN. 1. (language, text) DPS - Display PostScript. 2. (language) DPS - A real-time language with direct expression of timing requests. ["Language Constructs for Distributed Real-Time PRogramming", I. 9000 mainframe so that they are year 2000 compliant a. 1. (Computers) having dates fully and properly represented, and not susceptible to failure due to the year 2000 bug. . ConSyGen will provide automated identification and correction of all non-compliant date fields in the client's programs and database. The total project involves approximately one million lines of code The statements and instructions that a programmer writes when creating a program. One line of this "source code" may generate one machine instruction or several depending on the programming language. A line of code in assembly language is typically turned into one machine instruction. . The cataloging, confirmation of the date origins and cross references and the testing of the verification work unit is expected to take less than three months. After the verification work unit has been successfully tested, the actual conversion process is essentially performed overnight. "This project is another example of the broad capacity available within the ConSyGen 2000 toolset for automated conversions," stated Ron Bishop, president ant CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of ConSyGen. "This project itself should again demonstrate our ability to locate internal date fields and convert them to be year 2000 compliant automatically and in an economic and rapid manner. Since the ConSyGen 2000 toolset has already been adapted to the BULL environment, there will be no requirements for toolset modifications, the project will begin as soon as the client code is delivered to ConSyGen," Bishop concluded. ConSyGen Inc. is a Phoenix-based software company that provides conversion/correction services with its proprietary technologies. The company's ConSyGen 2000 software is a fully-automated toolset that automatically corrects dates in both source code and data to be compliant for the Year 2000 and beyond.
