Date format MM/DD/YY for TSS ARCHIVE and TSS MODEL command

Products

• Top Secret

Issue/Introduction

Why, when using both TSS ARCHIVE and MODEL commands, is the output generated with the American format of MM/DD/YY in the header, even though the Top Secret DATE control option is set to use the European format - DATE(DD/MM/YY)? 

 

Resolution

The date in the header field is written in format MM/DD/YY. There is no check of DATE() control option done by Top Secret. There is no way to change this from the MM/DD/YY format in the header. The product is working as designed.

 

Additional Information

Example using the  ARCHIVE keyword:

TSS LIST(acid) ARCHIVE INTO(datasetname[(membername)])

TSS DELETE(acid) ARCHIVE INTO(datasetname[(membername)])

 
Example using the MODEL keyword:

TSS MODEL USING(modelacid) ACID(newacid)

TSS MODEL USING(modelacid) ACID(newacid) [INTO(datasetname[(membername)])]

 

 Sample of the first line of the output of the command:

/*MODEL ACID NEWACID STORED 02/18/10-10.45.51 BY MASTER1 ON XE15 USING MDLACID

The date format is MM/DD/YY.
