If not, what's the best approach to get the longest possible browse/

nsr_getdate
man page are a bit strange if I'm reading it correctly. That is :
"If a year is specified as a number in
the range 70 and 99, 1900 is added. If a year is in
the range 00 and 30, 2000 is added. The treatment of
other years less than 100 is undefined."
How can I eg., just append 50 years to the current browse/retent
dates of
an existing saveset? From that description, it looks like it's a
max of
30.
I assume they are storing dates a standard 32-bit timestamps, and that
will prevent you from passing the 2038 date.
$ perl -le 'print scalar gmtime 2**31-1'
Tue Jan 19 03:14:07 2038
If they're using 64-bit timestamps (or unsigned 32-bit ones), I missed
it.
Actually, last night I found the following in the release notes for
v7.5 - truth be told it's the first time I've seen anything mentioned
on the 2038 problem, but I'm always prepared to admit that I'd
previously scanned passed other release note entries :-)
LGTpa37508
Client file index browse and save set retention policies can be set no
later than the
year 2038. This is caused by an operating system limitation in which
support for
time is limited to a maximum of 68 years starting from the year 1970.
Cheers,
Preston.
