Thanks John. I tried the SET DATEFORMAT ISODATE SYSTEM from the userid
MAINT. It took the command but didn't change the values when I did a
QUERY DATEFORMAT. I was able to change it by doing the following on
MAINT:
SET DATEFORMAT ISODATE
SET DATEFORMAT SYSDEFAULT

They now have the correct format for the date on z/VM 4.4. Thanks to all
of you that responded for your assistance and information.

A user with Class B privilege can issue SET DATEFORMAT ISODATE/etc
SYSTEM
to change the default date format system-wide without an IPL.As always,
if you do this, you also want to add the system config file statement
so the same date format is in effect the next time you IPL.

SET DATEFORMAT has been in the system since VM/ESA 2.2.0
