Exactly right.  The job date stays the same across the midnight boundary for
a very good reason.  In the olden days, we used to use UDATE to print on the
top of reports, like A/R aged trial balance and so on.  We'd do a CHGJOB
DATE(friday) and run it on Saturday evening.  Even if the job ran until
Sunday morning, we were guaranteed Friday's date on all the reports.  I'm
sure this seems quaint today, but it's not possibly for IBM to change the
way UDATE works without breaking backward compatibility.

Use TIME instead of UDATE.
