Very Very occasionally, DateTimelib.currentDate() seems to return a date far in the past.

I have only been able to observe this through data writen to our database. This is very simple function which fills the databaserecord and excecutes an add function.

As it probably occurs somewhere like once every 1million calls, it is very difficult to troubleshoot.

This is problematic for us as some functions which later search within a certain range of dates don't return the correct values.

Has anyone encountered this?

Does any one know what's happening behind the curtain? (We are deploying java webservices to websphere on an Iseries machine)

Thanks in advance,

Bram

Hi Bram,

Are you 100% sure your EGL program is the only process writing or updating these records?

Which date, far in the past, is written? Does this happen to be 31/12/1899?

Hi,

Thanks for responding!

I am sure this is inserted by EGL and not updated since.

The dates are not the same. The last one was 1/1/1999, but I have had about 10 different dates over the last year.

Kind regards,

Bram
