“We had no more than the ordinary problems that we experience on weekends,” said Terrence Spellane, manager for U.S. Customs’ emergency response center, based in Newington, Va.
Some of these problems involve fixing line connections to particular computer sites, helping shippers to log on to the system, and resetting passwords.
The concern with year 2000 was the inability of older systems to interpret the “00” in the year as 2000, not 1900. Customs finished reprogramming 6 million lines of code in its 16-year-old Automated Commercial System in October 1998.
“It was a tremendous effort put forward by everyone, and we were ready,” Spellane said. The agency received no Y2K-related from industry users.
