Our TSM Server was upgraded from previous versions many times, so maybe it is 
coming from there.

According to dsmserv.opt.smp in TSM 6.1.2 DATEFORMAT, TIMEFORMAT and 
NUMBERFORMAT are still used for z/OS.

You should not add things to your options files which are not defined

as valid for your software.

DATEformat, NUMberformat, and TIMEformat have been obsolete

specifications since TSM 3.7, when such controls were transferred to

locale settings.



The Options table may evidence the options, though not even coded in

your server options file, apparently by virtue of some legacy server

software.
