Bad news - that was not a Y2K-compliant version. You should have
upgraded to 7.24 at least 5 years ago, and 7.31 by now. One of the
disadvantages of using such archaic software is that you can't go to
IBM for support very easily (at least, I'd be very surprised if you
have support on this product since it has been obsolete for so long).

Succinctly, no. There's no obvious reason why the problem would be
related to Y2K. Can you track the ISAM error back to a number, and
then check whether the o/s errno values (/usr/include/sys/errno.h)
makes any sense? Probably not, but always worth a check.
