RE: Mapics in European Format

I have been curious about this thread since I saw the date format different
from the system format idea.  I haven't found yet what to change in sysctl,
but I did find SH90517 which deals with this topic.  It would be nice to
just have the "call mapics" CL (and sysctl set) set up the date format and
leave the system format alone, but like I said I haven't seen how to
specifically do this other then a ptf with a disclaimer that it's not an
official mapics apar.

You may also want to look at the LDA data area.  This is setup for each user
when Mapics starts and I believe it has the date format loaded to some byte.
Check the Cross App Technical manual for the LDA and where the byte is.
Experiment carefully. -Greg

  MAPICS uses its own date format (in SYSCTL) which you need to also change.
