Re: System Date Change Simulation

[Al Mac <macwheel99@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Have you tried the job/session date in CHGJOB?
During Y2K testing we put that into a CL so that people could change their 
current session to whatever date they were testing.

Unfortunately some software uses the date time from the system, which we 
not want changed impacting other jobs on the system, and some software uses 
the job/session date.

So when we sign on, we get a job/session date, which is a copy of the 
system date ... and if people are left signed on overnite, are they still 
the previous day ... CHGJOB can change the date of that session to simulate 
what happens on a distant date, but the system date remains correct.
