Re: Broken date support on old releases?

The System supported date range is from August 23, 1928, 12:03:06.314752 to
May 10, 2071, 11:56:53.685240. Setting an input date that is outside this
range will result in a date within this range.

This is not related to application date ranges such as 1940 to 2039 for
interpretation of 2-digit years (in some places) or DB2 date ranges. It's
the date range you can set the system to.

In 7.3 the service action logs I tried a from date of 01/01/15 and a to
date of 01/02/71 and that works fine. But if I change the To date to
01/02/72 it dies with
The 'FROM' date should be earlier than the 'TO' date.

And this is fine:
From . . : 12/31/72 23:59:31 To . . : 01/01/71 00:00:31
therefore 71 = 2071 and 72 = 1972

This "window" may have nothing to do with DB2's window.

Hi,
We have customers that are really backlevel (I think the oldest is v4r5).
On at least 3 v5r3 machines we noticed that trying to access the Service
Action Log in the SST/DST gives an error regarding the date. It won't
accept any date in 2019. Product Activity log on the other hand does work.
Has anyone seen this?
My only worry is whether this quirk is affecting only that particular menu
or if the systems will suddenly start failing at the OS level.
A quick google search didn't turn up what the date range is for the OS's 2
digit date, So I don't know if 19 means 2019 or 1919...
Any thoughts?
BTW, I've been trying to migrate these customers to current machines, even
hosting them on current hardware, but the longevity and self-management
features of the system lead to some customers not even thinking of
upgrading...
