CAI_DATEFMT (Date Format)

Applies to UNIX/Linux, Windows and z/OS USS

This variable defines the preferred date format that Enterprise Management uses. The date format is comprised of three date elements, a day (dd or ddd), a month (mm or mmm) and a year (yy or yyyy). Arrange the date elements in any order, but use each element once and only once.

Note: We recommend that you use the same date format for UNIX and Windows systems, so that they are consistent. The date always defaults to the format used on your Windows system.

A description of each date element follows.

dd

Day of the month, from 01 to 31.

Note: The range of days in January is 01 to 31. The range of days in February is 01 to 28, except during leap year when the range is 01 to 29.

ddd

Julian day, from 001 to 366.

mm

Numeric month, from 01 to 12.

mmm

A character month. Valid specifications are: JAN, FEB, MAR, APR, MAY, JUN, JUL, AUG, SEP, OCT, NOV, and DEC.

yy

A valid year, from 00 to 99.

Note: Any year in the range 00 to 59 is translated internally as a twenty‑first century date (2000‑2059). Any year in the range 60 to 99 is translated internally as a twentieth century date (1960‑1999).

yyyy

A valid year, from 1960 to 2099.

Note: The valid date range is January 1, 1960 (01-JAN-1960) through December 31, 2099 (31-DEC-2099).

Separate the date elements by a separator character. Valid separator characters are: - (hyphen), . (period), / (slash), , (comma), or space.
