Hi Folks - during Y2K we used a product to modify system date/time for testing purposes etc (Hourglass). Now, we do not have the product, is there another way to modify the system date for a single batch job (don't care about the time)? I thought there was a primitive JES command on the jobcard or something..? (or maybe I'm just dreaming !)

Cheers Smile

Hi Kolusu - Thks for the response, however I have reviewed this post before and it really didn't address what I'm looking for. COBOL is not in the equation here. The response from 'semigeezer' was interesting, but still not quite in the ball park.

I take it then that there is no JES or Z/OS statements that allow you to modify the system date (in batch mode)..?
Cheers

There are no JES2 commands to change system clock. There are no MVS commands that will help you short of an IPL. You need some sort of exit or product to intercept date & time requests.
