419.0. "May 19th (10K delta-time bug) patch for V5.4?" by MSBCS::GRADY () Fri Apr 04 1997 11:45

    
    
    Hello,
    
    I have a customer running 5.4 and the concern is about the MAY 19th 
    VMS 10,000th day. Where if routines call up references using a delta
    time it breaks.
    
    Does anyone know if there is a patch for the time problem for VMS 5.4
    and if so where I can get it. 
    
    I already have the info for the patches for V5.5 - 7.0.
    
    
    
    						Thanks in advance
    
    							Dennis

419.1Please See 238.* For This 10K Delta-Time DiscussionXDELTA::HOFFMANSteve, OpenVMS EngineeringFri Apr 04 1997 12:0617
   Please see 238.*, and please see the Questions and Answers (Q&A; also
   known as the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for this.

	--

   There is presently no patch for V5.4 and there's probably no need for
   this at the customer site, though there is presently an investigation
   around back-porting the patch to all V5.x releases.  Regardless, the
   customer will want to test the local site for time-related problems.

   I'd *strongly* recommend upgrading to a current release -- V7.1 is the
   current release.  V5.4 is *not* supported.

   I'd also *strongly* recommend the customer follow the testing and review
   processes documented for both the 10K patch *and* for the year 2000...
