Legacy Transaction Conversion Utility (LTCU) is a series of programs developed by MCD to convert incoming data in one format from one system out in another format that is compatible with the other system.
<p>
MCD has completed Y2K readiness on LTCU by using a "windowing" technique which treats all dates with year 00 thru 49 and 20xx and year 50 thru 99 as 19xx.
</p>
<p>
LTCU's two-way interface is used to support:
</p>
<p>
1.  Transfer of legacy transactions in VMS to OGF, in a format usable by OGF.
</p>
<p>
2.  The translation of FRS 10-digit accounts to valid OGF account code combinations.
</p>
<p>
3.  The ability to translate OGF accounts to FRS 10-digit accounts when sending certain data back to systems such as BDS which will remain on VMS for a year or two.
