Re: Catching Password Expiration on AS400 with tool box

Hi Dave

Thanks for ur input and infact yesterday i was trying the same thing, using 
the Password Expiration Date. A came across a very strange when i used that. 
For a particular profile on AS400 i set the Password Expiration Interval to 
2 (in days). Then i run my Java Applcation to get the password expiration 
date. As the method getPasswordExpirationDate() returns a Gregarion Calender 
Object. Now i tried getting the Date object out of this calender object 
using calender.getTime() function. Remembering that i run the code on Monday 
which was April 23th, 2001 and Password Expiration Interval was set to 2 
days. So i was expecting a date of 25th April, 2001....Intstead it gave me 
25th May 2001 which was pretty strange.

Do u have any ideas?

Thanks
Niranjan
