A customer wants to 'tweak' the systemtime by advancing it in daily
increments so they can test their application will work beyond the
year 2000.
They are using DTM V3.6-1
While they've been advised that adjusting the systemtime would be
unsupported but do you know of anyone who is using DTM to test beyond
the year 2000 or how they might go about it.
Has DEC DTM been tested to work beyond then ?
thanks

Why ??
Seems to me that DTM would be capable of doing just what you want and
that's the way that I would test for millenium problems.
You need to worry about the time stamps that DTM is going to create on
all of its files. Setting the system time correctly and then cleaning
probably won't work very well. "You're trying to delete a file that's
been created in the future. Are you sure that you know what you're
doing?" is a message one might expect.
I would do this testing on a copy of DTM libraries preferably on a
virgin disk that you just re-initialize when done.
