Description
The SYSDATE parameter lets you set the initial system date to a given value. The SYSDATE and SYSTIME parameters must both be specified together, unless SYSDATE=+ddd
is specified.
The format for the parameter value is:
SYSDATE=yyyy/mm/dd
Or:
SYSDATE=+ddd
where ddd is the number of days to be added to the current date. If SYSDATE=+ddd is specified alone, the time is set to the current time of day. If SYSTIME is also specified, the time is set to the specified value.
Notes:
- The SYSDATE value must not be in the past, and it must not be after
2042/09/17
, the date the old-style, 8-byte hardware, Time-Of-Day clock value wraps to zero. - Use only copies of production files when running with the SYSDATE parameter; otherwise you might lose information.
