F35 - Y2K

[nevillekingdom@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

We have an F35 CISC box and would like to set the system date to beyond 2000 as
part of our testing.
As this would be a controlled test no users would be on the system. Journaling,
Job Schedulers, Performance Monitors and user access would all be disabled.

I have read an article in Midrange Computing  Feb 1998 by Ted Holt that states a
full system backup should be taken and when the date is set back to current that
a full restore must be performed. We are not doing an IPL and this restore seems
a little extreme every time we want to do live testing with our test
environment.

Does anyone have any experience or suggestions with the system date or on having
to do a full restore
