'SET_FORMAT'

When the CA TLMS interface to z/OS EARL Service is first invoked, the date format is initialized to that indicated in member TLMSIPO during CA TLMS installation. Subsequent CTSEDATE date function calls may modify that format. The 'SET_FORMAT' function is used to specify the external date format for the printed z/OS EARL Service report if different from the last indicated.

The 'SET_FORMAT' function can also be used to specify the output date format for internal dates that you choose to print on z/OS EARL Service reports.
