But if I understand it right, the date is computed from the value in the interval timer, along with various offsets, only when it is actually needed. Nothing special actually happens at midnight on Dec. 31st.
Which is not how I remember it. The interval timer is set to pop at midnight, and that updates CVTDATE appropriately. I do recall an admonition that near midnight to use SVC 11 for the date, rather than CVTDATE, to get a synchronized value, as there was some latency in the date update.
