Re: Strange date in DSPFD

A search of the APAR technical database using 'extract date' will show APAR
SE08979 - False last extract date from dspfd for V5R2.  Those extract dates
are no longer supported and should have been removed.  You will not see
them in the next release.  You are indeed seeing the value of a system
timestamp set to 0.

Saw that date many years ago with some setup problems in OV400.  I believe
with the current internal date/time calculation used in OS/400 that is the
farthest back a date can go in the internal clock.  Sometimes ends up
being used when there are problems.  See the QCENTURY system value - not
that "0" is 1928-1999 and not 1900-1999.

Strange date in DSPFD






Hi,

we have created some new files and found something strange in the DSPFD
display:

       Key fields 1 - 2  . . . . . . . . . . :                        250

   Last change date/time . . . . . . . . . . :            18.03.04
16:08:16
   Extract date/time . . . . . . . . . . . . :            23.08.28
12:03:06
   Last extract date/time  . . . . . . . . . :            23.08.28
12:03:06
   Last save date/time . . . . . . . . . . . :            18.03.04
16:08:17
   Last restore date/time  . . . . . . . . . :
   Last used date  . . . . . . . . . . . . . :            18.03.04

Does anybody know where the wrong Extract date/time comes from? It looks
like our HA-Software had a problem with this date
when replicating this new file.

Regards,

Oliver
