Matt Definitely on my radar and has been so for about a year.
We (SDSF development) have been preparing during this time by making sure that all STCK handling goes thru common HLASM and PLX macros and routines that normalize to STCKE. For windowing we are using Bit0 being ON in a STCK to indicate a pre2042 value. Rob Scott Rocket Software.

We wanted to set clocks forward to see where things might go bad but z/OS as of 3.2 doesn't allow for a date that late. Figured I'd fish to see if this is on anyone's radar. Applies mostly to users that persisted STCKs for dates. -- Regards, Matt Hogstrom [email protected] (919)656-0564 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ================================ Rocket Software, Inc. and subsidiaries ? 77 Fourth Avenue, Waltham MA 02451 ?
