There are products like CA-date and others that set the date for certain jobs/users. These were used for Y2K but are applicable for application year-end testing.

Re: Change system date
Hi Raquel, We bought TicToc from ISOGON for Y2K testing and kept it. It was bought by IBM several years ago and renamed to IBM Application Time Facility for z/OS. We use it often. It sets a future or past virtual date for the application to test with and can be used with batch or online applications. The applications folks really like it. I just checked the product catalog on ShopzSeries. It is still available.
