Hello
no -- if you take a look of EIBDATE in CICS, you will see the century=20=
bit. There is a compatibility to IBM-360 systems for yaer 2000=20
problem :-)
yes -- I think, there are a lot of bits to calculate the clock. The=20
counter is designed between the cost of bits and the range to=20
calculate. :-) would you live since 2053 :-)
one other question: why does several unix-systems does there base at=20=
01.01.1971 (i think, but it can be a mistake) and take a rollover at=20=
2021 (that can be a mistake too) - its the cost of bits
so you can see: it is the count of bits, which can represent the count=20=
of TOD :-))
bitte nicht ganz so ernst nehmen (sorry, i could not say this sentence=20=
in english, i am not perfect) my answer is a - good meaning - type of=20=
comic....
