  • Subject: Re: QDLS, shared folders being Y2K compliant
  • From: Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>

This is IBM's response to my incident regarding the above concern:

ATTENTION TSS:  Chris Kraai                                             
ECS - SLINE - DEFECT and NON DEFECT - RESPOND ELECTRONICALLY            
CUSTOMER REP:  Rob Berendt                                              
PROBLEM:  Is the QDLS Y2K compliant.                                    
ACTION TAKEN:  The attributes of files and directories in the QDLS file 
system store dates internally with a 4 digit year.  Although a file     
system is not typically pronounced "y2k ready" it does store the date   
attribute with a 4 digit year.  If the file is being created by a y2k   
compliant operating system, *and* the application that creates the file 
also correctly specifies the date (this would include things not        
normally though of as applications such as the DOS copy/xcopy or        
Windows explorer), *and* the client used for access to the QDLS file    
system is y2k compliant, *and* the AS/400 is running a y2k compliant    
release of OS/400 then the QDLS file system will happily store that year
correctly on up through December 31st 9999.                             
ACTION PLAN:  RQ NETRSP.
