LO75946: DDM HISTORYCLIENT FIELD DATES SHOWN ARE BASED ON THE OS DATE SETTINGS OF THE CLIENT

APAR status

• Closed as Permanent restriction.

Error description

• When entries are made to the HistoryClient field for an event
  in the DDM, the date entry for the event is recorded in the
  format that matches the OS date settings where the Admin
  client
  is installed not the server's date settings.
  
  This can lead to confusion when the DDM is updated by multiple
  administrators from different geographical locations as the
  entries are displaying different date formats and the entries
  are sorted A to Z not on the date entered.
