Toward the end of 1998, I rolled forward a V4R1 development system to late
1999 for Y2K testing, let it roll over to 2000, then rolled forward to 2001,
then back to 1998.  During this time, there were also several jumps back and
forth between 1999 and 2000 for repeat testing.  All activity for the future
dates is still contained in the History Log, but I have not experienced any
problems.  I've even performed a V4R4 upgrade with no date related problems.
(Only problem was the same Ops Console problem Jon Paris described here last
week -- still unresolved!)

I know IBM does not recommend this, but rolling back the date has not caused
any problems on this system.

John
