Just speaking form my Y2K testing experience You are inviting
problems with future dates on current systems. We had to do a complete
reinstall of SAS because we did what you describe on a real system (not
an emulator).

What kind of testing are you trying to do? There are date simulator
products like HOURGLASS or I think Compuware has one. With these products
your applications can pick a date and time to run in and not affect the rest
of the environment.

Don't do it - a recipe for disaster and you will get lots of "You did
WHAT?" from vendors if anything breaks.
Dump/Copy the stuff you want from the "live" system and then isolate
your timewarp system from everything else.

We did an extensive date progression test for Y2K. We went to the DR
site, rented extra time, and played with it for a week.
I'm fairly certain we got extended keys from our vendors to avoid that
problem. Once we started moving forward, though, we never fell back.
Beware the SIBW!!!
