Date Recording and Date Format

As described in Four-Digit Year (Year 2000) Support, all VSE/POWER date-related processing is based on the VSE/POWER partition Comreg field JOBDATWC, which may mean either:

• mm/dd/yy/cc, in the default sequence of month/day/..., or
• dd/mm/yy/cc, in the sequence of day/month/..., as specified by the// STDOPT DATE=DMY statement, which allows changing the date format.

Changing the date format in a running system may cause unexpected confusion for the VSE/POWER functions as well.
