Thanks Kris, I will keep that in mind, they only have a few in-house execs and only use the VM system for multiple VSEs and storing JCL and source code in CMS.

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.
