I've not read every part of this thread, but would ask those reporting an issue if they are up to date with the ptfs IBM provided for those releases.
IBM did fix a lot of date stuff, spread over many years.

Subject: Re: Broken date support on old releases? V5R4 problem also!

Just discovered that V5R4M5 has the same issue in SAL (Service Action Log). No date in ??19 is valid nor ??20.

??21 works but the question now is that 1921? And where do you suppose we will find any new errors that pop up with the machine?

Oddly PAL (Product Activity Log) does not exhibit this issue. Hmmm.

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...
