APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • /usr/bin/istat and /sbin/helpers/jfs2/istat
    currently cannot handle dates beyond 03:14:07 UTC
    on Tuesday, 19 January 2038 (also known
    as the year 2038 problem) due to 32 bit limitations
    in the istat code.
    
    The code will be changed in a way to utilize 64 bit
    functions and data structures to accomodate for this.
    
    Note: Files in a JFS filesystem have a 32 bit timestamp
    design limitation. The APAR cannot change this.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • The update date on the istat command will show a date in
    the past.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The command was modified to use 64bit data structures and
    macros.
    

Temporary fix
