Job Date

[Jim Langston <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is a certain procedure that runs in a batch job that
uses the job date for a lookup.  I did not write this procedure,
but there is now a problem with it.

Before, our users would type in // DATE 12/24/99 and the job
date would change to 12/24/99 when the sbmjob was ran, and
everything went fine.

But, someone came to me today and said he ran this job to get a
report and it came out 0.  I did the procedure myself, changed the
jobdate to 12/24/99 with // date 12/24/99 and ran it, then looked at
the job when it was running and it has a job date of 01/03/2000.

I then went to find out where else I could change the job date and
did a CHGJOB and prompted, hit F9, scrolled down and saw a
jobdate field, that already had the value 122499 in it.

Is this a Y2K bug?

Is there a work around?

Regards,

Jim Langston
