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

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.
