Which is why I use the CMS DEFAULTS command to change the date format in RDRLIST and FILELIST.
defaults set filelist isodate defaults set rdrlist isodate -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kris Buelens Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2008 9:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: CMS file list date Beware for a global, system wide, change: if you have execs that issue commands that return a date, they will get a new layout. To name some: - LISTFILE - CP Q TIME - CP Q RDR xxxx ALL (distribution code is no returned anymore with FULL- or ISODATE) - CP Q CPLEVEL Results of affected execs become unpredictable. Wisdom: each an every exec that is written these days should specify the wanted date format on the commands issued, then and only then one is sure of the response. End-users may always decide they don't like the selected system default date format and set their own choice. 2008/8/27 Dodds, Jim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Thanks Steve that will work as a temp solution.
