Hello,

A friend of mine is asking me about the behavior of the system date in AS/400. They are currently doing integration testing of their remediated programs for Y2K compliance.

This is the scenario:

While testing, their current date is Jan 1, 2000, then they changed the system time to 12:01AM, they checked the date and it is still the same. However, upon signing off and then logging on again they noticed that the system date is already Jan 2, 2000. Her question is this: Is this what the OS normally should do? or the date should still be Jan 1, 2000?

TIA.

Richie
