is user dba

Is this statement correct :
In SQL Server 2000 the SQL that checks to see "Is User a DBA" is not valid.
One must use suser_sname instead of suser_name.
See example below:
select 1 where suser_sname()='sa'
go
And if so is there a patch available to correct this ?

Um.
From BOL: SUSER_NAME always returns NULL when used in Microsoft SQL
ServerT 2000. This system built-in function is included only for backward
compatibility. Use SUSER_SNAME instead.
But suser_sname() is not right either. Since many different logins may be
system administrators.
Try
select IS_SRVROLEMEMBER('sysadmin')
