Issue/Introduction

After upgrade of CA Common Services, the CA Earl report titles show date format of dd/mm/yy instead of mm/dd/yy. How can I change this?

Environment

Release: EARL..00200-6.1-Earl
Component:

Resolution

The CA Earl report title date format is controlled by the DATE= option in the EARLOPT module, EARLGEN macro. The default is DATE=DDMMYY which results in dd/mm/yy in the report title.

To reassemble the EARLOPTS with your desired date format mm/dd/yy:

• For CA Common Services Version 12.0 and above,
  
  modify SAMPJCL member AXEI0040, change to DATE=MMDDYY and run.
  
  
• For CA Common Services Version 11.0,
  
  modify SAMPJCL member XE61USR1, change to DATE=MMDDYY and run.
