Comments regarding some PTF's

UG00346

Contains the changes making VM/Batch enabled for Year 2000 dates (Updated with UG03894 4/99)

UG00380

Contains the changes making VM/Batch enabled for FULLDATE and ISODATE

UG03810

Contains the fix to APAR GC05375 that adds a new option to the TASK keyword in the CONTROL FILE. This new option specifies whether the TASK machine 191 disk is over written prior to starting a new job. This over writing destroys all residual data remaining from the previous job. The new option is 'secure y | n' and is specified as follows:

• FORMAT 1 -TASK-userid-password1-password2-classids-tttt-ttt-secure-
• FORMAT 2 -TASK-userid-*NOPASS*-password2-classids-tttt-tttt-secure-password3-

Negative impacts that may be experienced with 'y' is the delay in the job starting if the 191 disk is large. This delay is the amount of time it takes to write data over the entire 191 mini-disk.

UG03953

Contains the fix to APAR GC05491 that corrects an abend when trying to schedule AUTOLOG jobs.
