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.
