Current Job date will be wrong as of year 2040 .
I tested year 2040 readines of job dates, and found the following:
(Version V6R1)
D DT_INZJOB S D INZ(*JOB)
* shows wrong results
%DATE(UDATE) // shows wrong results
%DATE(*DATE) // shows right results
Either block using job dates now, or at least have a compiler option to block it, or fix the problem.
Sample program that shows the wrong results:
CL:
CHGJOB DATE(01012040)
CALL DAT001
*****
RPG DAT001:
D DT_INZJOB S D INZ(*JOB)
D DT_SDATE S D
D DT_UDATE S D
D DT_DSPLY S 25
/FREE
DT_DSPLY = 'DT INZJOB: '+ %CHAR(DT_INZJOB);
DSPLY DT_DSPLY;
DT_SDATE = %DATE(*DATE);
DT_DSPLY = 'DT *DATE: '+ %CHAR(DT_SDATE);
DSPLY DT_DSPLY;
DT_UDATE = %DATE(UDATE);
DT_DSPLY = 'DT UDATE: '+ %CHAR(DT_UDATE);
DSPLY DT_DSPLY;
*INLR=*ON;
By the way, for year 2072 and abve, the following will not work:
CHGJOB DATE(01012072)
It will produce an error message. So i was not able to test that part at all.
