When I said that IBM treats year 2000 as a leap year, I was implying intent.
Please consider this post within the context of the other posts I've made on
this topic, where I've acknowledged that there is a bug in how we are handling
02/29/2000. It is ADSM's *intent* (design) to treat 2000 as a leap year, and
any deviation from this is a bug that needs to be corrected.

Best regards,

If IBM is treating it as such, where are my events for 2/29/2000?  It's
OK for my "ANY" day jobs, but it should mess up my specific day
schedules.
