The "Open and Shut Window Technique" Y2K solution is so simple
that if you are really pressed for time, you can just insert
this windowing technique correction code where needed, do a
batch compilation, and then move all your load modules right
into production.

After all, with time constraints and considering the state of
affairs in most installations, you better not waste your time
with testing.  The "Open and Shut Window Technique" without
testing is very much recommended over no modifications at all.

(Yeah, I know that I am reversing my prior stance, but hey,
whadda ya gonna do?)
