The following commands are enhanced to support both two- and
four-digit years. For an interpretation of two-digit years, refer to the
section, "Two-Digit Years Interpretation." New syntax for the
commands with parameters accepting years follows:
• STREAM command
:STREAM jobname;DATE=datespec
where datespec is the date for streaming the job in the format
mm/dd/[yy]yy. If omitted, the current date is used.
• FILE Command
:FILE [;LABEL=[ [volid][,[IBM][,[expdate][,seq]]]]]
[ [ [ [ANS] ] ] ]
where expdate is the expiration date in the format mm/dd/[yy]yy.
• SETCLOCK command
:SETCLOCK ;DATE=datespec
where datespec is the local date in the form mm/dd/[yy]yy.
• LISTSPF/SPOOLF command
:LISTSPF/SPOOLF ;SELEQ=[DATE=mm/dd/[yy]yy]
• STORE Command
:STORE [{;DATE<=accdate}]
[{;DATE>=moddate}]
where accdate and moddate are the accessed and modified dates in the
form mm/dd/[yy]yy.
CI Variables
The available HPYEAR variable is corrected to return the last two digits
of the current system year, and a new CI variable is added to have the
four-digit current system year.
Existing variable:
HPYEAR is a global variable used by the CI that shows the last
two digits of the current year; the initial value is the
year at logon. Type= R I
For example, HPYEAR will have 0 for year 2000 and 5 for
year 2005.
New four-digit year variable:
