"14. At some time in the future, new models will use a carry from bit position 0 of the TOD clock to increment an additional eight-bit binary counter. STORE CLOCK EXTENDED will store the contents of this counter in byte position 0 of its storage operand. A variation of SET CLOCK will set the counter, as well as the TOD clock. Variations of SET CLOCK COMPARATOR and STORE CLOCK COMPARATOR will manipulate a comparable byte at the left of the clock comparator. These actions will allow the TOD clock to continue to measure time within the standard epoch after the current 143-year limit caused by a carry from bit position 0 has been exceeded, and they will allow continued use of the clock comparator. It may be desired to have programs that process 16-byte STORE CLOCK EXTENDED operands take these future developments into account." Apparently non-zero values of the STCKE return byte zero are not yet simulated. pup not holding breath Art Celestini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote 9/12/2005 4:10 PM I'm testing some code on z/OS 1.5 and find that CONVTOD will not accept a year greater than 2042, even though an ETOD is requested. Does anyone know if there is an APAR that extends this limit? I'm trying to use it for date calculations that could, potentially, involve dates that are 100 years into the future. ----------------------------------------- The information contained in this communication (including any attachments hereto) is confidential and is intended solely for the personal and confidential use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.
