RE: System Date - can it be 'intercepted' ?

Thanks Rob. I haven't messed with TRCJOB instead of relying on looking
at the program stack while the program is running. I'll give that a go.
I've looked at some of those vendors and it appears that's how they
solved the problem - by using CHGSYSLIBL to get their own API versions
in place ahead of the system ones. Done that myself to get around
certain problems, so if I can pin down what routine(s) are in charge
that will be my attempt.

It's clear something changes in V6R1 about the date and time though -
haven't been able to figure out exactly what, but since we're still on
V5R4 that's academic for the moment.

Thanks

Jim

I don't suppose there's some common routine used to extract system date?

For example, if you run a TRCJOB against a program that retrieves the
system date (while running in debug) can you see what routine was used
to
extract that? Anyway to handle that? Like a copy of the routine?

You might have better luck with the Y2K vendors previously mentioned.
