7.4 Year 2000 Date Handling in Across the Boards
Correct handling of the century change in 1999/2000 is a concern to many mainframe installations.
Across the
Boards
has few date dependencies, and applications will have few, if any, problems with the year 2000 related
to
Across the Boards
. The date handling in the various
Across the Boards
modules is summarized below.
XAPI
No date dependencies.
DIALOG/CFXDIAL/DIALOGG/CFXDIALG
All date handling uses four digit years.
APPX
At connect time, the mainframe APPX transmits the mainframe’s current date and time to the PC APPX. Both
the mainframe and PC APPX return this date and time to their respective applications. The transmitted and
returned dates use a two digit year. Since this date is intended primarily to allow the recording of a common
session start time on both the mainframe and PC (for logging and debugging purposes), it is not expected that
the two digit year will have a significant impact on any applications.
APPX has no other date dependencies.
