  • Subject: Tape Expiration Date and Y2K Question...
  • From: Chuck Lewis <CLEWIS@xxxxxxxxxx>
  • Date: Tue, 13 Oct 1998 09:21:02 -0400

Hi folks,

HOW is the system going to handle the Tape Expiration date and the Y2K ?

i.e. today (10/13/98) I run and save, a tape is used and it (the save
CLP) calculates a 21 day EXPDATE it and comes up with 11/03/98 so 110398
is used as the EXPDATE on the ensuing SAVLIB command.

I just tried a SAVLIB with EXPDATE of 11031998 and it worked OK (?)

I am TRYING to make sure MY CLP, etc. are Y2K ready... What am I to make
of this ?

I sort of DOUBT that IBM is using MMDDYYYY on this but it worked and it
DOES check for invalid dates and MMDDYYYY does PASS !!!

Am OK to keep using MMDDYY or do I change to MMDDYYYY and IS this going
to be OK ?

Thanks !

Chuck
