Arun, If a "D T" from the console of your Test LPAR shows the correct future date, then you are probably running into the same problem that was discussed here a few days ago und the heading of "COBOL ACCEPT DATE ...". Without being able to test this myself right now (I don't have access to a z/OS system at this time), I suspect that the "date" command is looking at the system's hardware clock in the HMC or sysplex timer, not the LPAR's software clock and therefore returns a seemingly incorrect date. In order to retrieve the correct time from the software clock, you need to use programs, commands, functions and/or subroutine calls that are documented as obtaining the "software clock's date and time".
If your Test LPAR is still IPLed with the future date, what happens if you do the following: Create a USS file in the Temp directory or your own USS user directory List the directory and look at the file's creation/change date Does it show the future date? IMHO, they should.

We IPL-ed the system with CLOCKxx as below, OPERATOR PROMPT ETRMODE NO ETRZONE NO and we were able to set to a future date without any problem from TSO. IKJ56650I TIME-03:29:10 PM. CPU-00:00:00 SERVICE-64068 SESSION-00:37:01 JANUARY1,2008 But, when we checked the date from USS, it seem to be displaying the current date/time, not the future. //:>date Tue Aug 28 15:29:02 2007 The test team is more interested in USS having a future date. Request your suggestion please on how to set the USS time to future date.
