Well, J R, you can just set the z/VSE option DATE=DMY at IPL and your
date will be a Euro-Frendly dd/mm/yyyy.
Sometimes it's the simple things that make a better OS. :-)

Don't know about "people friendly mm/dd/yy format". At least half the world
use dd/mm. And more than one third of dates can't be assumed with certainty unless there
is at least one certain other for guidance. Personally, I find yyyy-mm-dd the most
friendly. (Much to the disquietude of my family.)

Hello,
I currently looking for a way to read "Files generated on Tape(3490) with IDCAMS
BACKUP on Z/VSE" on my Z/OS.
You pretty much cannot - Backup/Restore is a feature unique to zVSE and uses
data set formats, a tape format, and end-of-tape handling that is not known to
z/OS. You may want to resort to more standard processes like REPRO,
Export/Import, or FTP...
Another instance of "Dumb" Operating System, now VSE being more
capable than its more expensive counterpart. It start with the dumb
system being able to accept the system date in people friendly
mm/dd/yy format (presumably now mm/dd/yyyy format) while the expensive
operating system required yy.ddd, year day-of-year. The dumb system
can handle FBA devices. I am certain z/VSE users and those who have
converted can come up with other examples.
