I was wondering if anyone here has seen the following. I have only been monitoring this list for a short while, so if this is old news, please forgive. We have a client running MPE/iX 5.0 (C.50.00). When a COBOL program calls FUNCTION CURRENT-DATE, the returned value is: 1994021718120500-0500 The acutal date is: 1995070709270500-0500 I'm not really concerned about the time (although, being off by 9 hours is significant, i'm not trying to return the time from this call), but the date???? I can't find anything that can account for that. We have other clients on 5.0 and the problem hasn't appeared at any of them, yet.
