You don't need to have a new BMR entered. Just ask the Helpline to add 6.0.02 
to the current BMR number. This is not something that is likely to get fixed, 
however, because the BMR mentioned covers the way the common date retrieval 
routine works. And since every program in BPCS uses it for dates (it pulls 
the Job date instead of System date, which works OK for some programs, like 
long running batch jobs where you might want a constant date, but not for 
most interactive user type programs) the testing effort to verify the fix 
would be too gargantuan for the company to do properly in a BMR. They don't 
plan to do the fix except at a release break. 

In other words, develop that workaround of restarting the daemons once a day, 
because you will be living with it for awhile.
