(KMON)
Sets or displays the current system date.
Format
DATE [dd-mmm-yy]
Parameter
dd-mmm-yy
dd represents the day (a decimal number from 1 to 31), mmm represents the
first three characters of the name of the month, and yy represents the year (a
decimal number from 73 to 99).
To enter a date into the system, specify the date in the format described above.
The system uses this date for newly created files, for files that you transfer to
magtape or cassette, and for listing files. It is recommended that you enter the
system date as soon as you bootstrap your operating system.
Multi-job monitors automatically increment the date at midnight each day. The
SB monitor increments the date only if you select timer support as a system
generation special feature. Note that you can also select automatic end-of-month
date advancement through system generation.
