Does it change automatically????

Yes.  The change to QCENTURY is caused by a change to QDATE.  You cannot change QCENTURY using the CHGSYSVAL command.
The system value QCENTURY is changeable in you are in an ambiguous year, like 28 through 53.  My suspicion is that there are not many systems currently running in those years.  Many thanks to Bruce Vining from IBM for noting that fact and calling me.

The initial design criteria for QCENTURY was to have been that it wasn't changeable,  which is when it was taught to me.

Just for the record, the QCENTURY text from my pitch that I do at COMMON, Everything you Always Wanted to Know about System Values (but were afraid to ask), follows.

Al



  Name:               QCENTURY  



  Description:        Century                                                           

  Length & Type:      Character:   1 


  Valid Values and their Meanings:

           '0'        The years from 1928 to 1999.

           '1'        The years from 2000 to 2053.
Comments:This system value is set by the system based on the system value QYEAR.
Change takes effect immediately.
