So, as of z/os 3.1, there does not seem to be a way to test with dates beyond 09/17/2042? A “R 00,DATE=2042.260 “ works, but a “R 00,DATE=2042.261” generates a “IEE306I RPLY HAS INVALID NUMERICS” message.
Years ago, one of our programmers fat-fingered a ZAP that accidentally turned an MVC into an SCK (SET CLOCK) of =FD'-1'. It took down z/OS. It kept crashing just a few minutes after everything was brought back up. We didn't even have time to get into IPCS to analyze the stand-alone dump. This happened over and over again until 5 pm when, frustrated with our poorly-performing system, he finally went home for the day.
It was (SVO) "fun" trying to figure out what happened... 😕 -- Phoenix Software International Edward E.
