For those of you who are interested, an APAR has been opened (again) on
the following problem regarding DATEFORMAT.  Apparently a prior APAR,
similar to this one, was closed as either a suggestion for a future change
or as a documentation issue (not sure which).  The APAR # is ic14855.
If you are interested in seeing this "fixed", you might want to get yourself
added to the interested parties list for this APAR.           ..Paul
