N.Y. Clearing House Says Y2K Test 'Perfect' So Far NEW YORK (Reuters)

- The New York Clearing House Association, the electronic link between banks and business that allows fund transfers and direct payrolls deposits, said Monday a three-day Year 2000 test had so far yielded ``prefect'' results.

The system handles 95 percent of all international U.S.- dollar transactions worldwide, which amounts to $1.2 trillion and $2 trillion per day, according to the clearing house.

``The latest is we are running our production out of the backup. We successfully made the switch,'' said Joseph Pawelczyk, vice president of systems development.

``We are the very deep plumbing of the banking system. We are using our back-up data center for the running of the business. It opened at 1230 a.m. (0030 EDT) Monday and all the banks are connected and doing their businesses.''

He said the test at the back up site was due to end at 1730 EDT (2130 GMT) Monday.

The Clearing House's back up facility is located in Weehawken. N.J., across the Hudson River from New York City, the location of the primary operation.

But Pawelczyk declined to say specifically where each site was due to security concerns.

OK, I'm back. Pretty slow down there. Only saw one response so far and it was just the standard "PR Shill" routine. Oh well, maybe I can learn something about running production out of backup later tonight if/when somebody cares to discuss the article intelligently. At any rate...ya did a good job guarding that string guy. I knew you could do it! Tomorrow we'll see if we can't get you a promotion to paperclips. Thanks again.
