RE: Reference Date

["Shaw, David" <dshaw@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Howard,

Look at the DATFMT parameter on the CHGJOB command.  It's retrievable using
the DATFMT parm on RTVJOBA, and I'm sure there are API's to get it, too.

I am converting our backup process to a tape silo and in doing some tune up
work we decided to change the SAVCHGOBJ part to use a REFERENCE DATE for
backup of our changed objects. In the command the description of the date
element mentions that the date must be in:
reference-date                                                      
    Specify the reference date.  Objects that have been changed     
    since this date are saved.  If you specify a date later than the 
    date of the running of this command, a message is issued and the 
    operation ends.  The date must be specified in the job date     
    format.                                                         
My question is what format is that?? I seem unable to find anything more
than just the reference to Job Date. 
Any help will be appreciated.
