This patch fixes some bugs, and contains an enhancement to address a Y2K
With this patch, if %%DT'["X" the above inputs are interpreted as July
Routine DIENVWRN is sent in order to prevent the inadvertent queuing
during the installation of this patch.
3. The patch has now been loaded into a transport global on your
system. You now need to use KIDS to install the transport global.
4. On the KIDS menu, under the 'Installation' menu, use the
following options:
Print Transport Global
2000.
Compare Transport Global to Current System
Verify Checksums in Transport Global
Backup a Transport Global
5. Inhibit users from login into the system. %DT and %DTC are used
heavily in VISTA applications. The consequences of installing this patch
while users are on the system are that users may get a 'source routine
edited' error.
6. AXP Sites - Place TaskMan in a WAIT State.
OpenM/Cache Sites - STOP TaskMan.
7. On the KIDS menu, under the 'Installation' menu, use the
following option:

8. After installing this patch, you need to move the routines DIDT
and DIDTC from your production account into your manager account. Then, in
the manager account, rename:
DIDT to %DT

interpreted as July 2000; if %DT["X", it is rejected.

interpreted as July of the current year (if the "P" and "F" flags weren't
used). With this patch, "070" is rejected.
Enhancement:
-----------
Introduce a new "M" flag for %DT. This flag allows input such as "0701",
"07/01", "JUL 01", "01 JUL" to be interpreted as July 2001, instead of
July 1st.
M Only Month and year input is allowed (example 1). If only a month
and two digits are entered, interpret the two digits as a year
instead of a day (example 2).
If the M flag is used with the X flag, a month must be specified;
otherwise, the input can be just a year (example 3).
