PM64308: INVALID DATA RETURNED FOR DATES IN EXCEL 2000 FORMAT ON IWR 7.5 FP1 SOLARIS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In Fix Pack 1 for IWR 7.5 the Excel 2000 format option was added
  back into the product.  A report is created against an Oracle
  datasource which contains dates.  This returns correct data when
  run in Impromptu 7.5 FP1 and saved as Excel 2000.  After
  publishing the report to a Solaris IWR environment, all dates in
  the report show as "1/0/1900"
