Y2K Disclosure Statement
California Department of Health Services -- Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Branch

 
  The Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Branch (CLPPB) of the California Department of Health Services (CDHS) may be considered the vendor of Local Response and Surveillance System for Childhood Lead Exposure (Local RASSCLE). CLPPB may be considered a vendor because it provides software and assistance with installation of Local RASSCLE to local health departments in California for use in their childhood lead poisoning prevention activities. Prior to the end of 1999, CLPPB expects to enable Local RASSCLE users to download data from a State database called State RASSCLE.

Local RASSCLE was developed in Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, version 2.6a. The Microsoft Year 2000 (Y2K) compliance statement may be viewed on the following web sites:

The developers of Local RASSCLE used the appropriate software environment settings, including "SET CENTURY ON," and the appropriate date verification routines. All Local RASSCLE screens have been designed to accept the entry of four-digit-years in date fields.

CLPPB has tested Local RASSCLE using the CDHS Year 2000 Master Checklist for Mission Critical Software and has completed the checklist for the following versions of RASSCLE for Y2K and leap year problems:

CLPPB will continue to test, for Y2K and leap year problems, any versions that may be developed and rolled out to users prior to February 29, 2000.

CLPPB believes that due diligence was used to develop Local RASSCLE as a Y2K and leap-year-compliant product and that due diligence has been used in testing it. Nevertheless, users of Local RASSCLE may encounter Y2K and leap year problems unless they use four-digit-years when entering date fields, and it is the responsibility of users to do so.

The Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Branch is a part of the California Department of Health Services. Further information regarding the Department's Year 2000 readiness may be found at: http://www.year2000.ca.gov/program/default.asp

The information provided in this document is a Year 2000 readiness disclosure statement pursuant to the Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act (Public Law 105-271).
