I have no idea why you want to change the system date, unless you want
to test your program for a date beyond the DATE in question.  During the
course of my work, when I test my programs for Y2K,  I need a date that
is in the year 2000 or past that date.  This is because of the screens
that accept the system date from the system.  Otherwise how can I test
it - if the date (after 2000) hasn't reached yet?

I am NOT changing the SYSTEM VALUE temporary.  Otherwise it will be a
mess, as if I forget to reset it back to the original value, 
the programs that use the DATE will yield inaccurate results - and
believe me - you know it - as the phones will be ringing off the
hook!!!!!

I am not sure about the system value - but if you do NOT change the HLL
program  HOW does the program know whether the century portion of the
date is 19 or 20 ???  

I hope I did not get you more confused!!!!!
