IV92528: ISTAT CANNOT HANDLE DATES BEYOND 2038 DUE TO 32BIT LIMITATIONS

Subscribe

You can track all active APARs for this component.

 

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

macros.
