I encountered a very strange situation on my PW XP1000.
I am running OpenVMS 8.4 on this box.
If I change the date to e.g. 05-feb-2020 it will not be saved.
(intrestingly the time is saved)
Whenever I restart the computer it will ask me for the date.
I already changed the battery twice because I thought this might be the problem.
Today I changed the date to 05-feb-2010 it works fine.
I also tried it on another box running OpenVMS 8.3 and there is no such problem.
Has anyone seen this issue?
Is there a setting that I don't know of? |

Don't know. Try setting the date with a binary search to determine if you can find if it is only 2020 it does not like.

So I think nobody can realy help me with that.
I don't know what you mean by "binary search".
Anyway, here are some more details.
I rebooted the box now severat times to find out what date causes the problem.
It's not 2020.
I booted the box with 31-dec-2012 and it wored fine.
Then I set the time to "31-dec-2012 23:58" and waited 2 minutes to make shure it was 01-jan-2013.
I shutdown the box compleetly, restarted and the box asked me for the date.
So the problem occures after 2012.
Any ideas???? |

binary search is a technique to find an answer from a range of possible values faster than testing each value in sequence.
Someone on the comp.os.newsgroup may know if that is a feature of the xp1000.

I have the same exact problem on my XP1000 and V8.4.
Like you, I do not enter the hh:mm:ss part, just
dd-mmm-yyyy, because the time is remebered.
If I just enter, say, 15-MAY (no yyyy), it defaults
to 15-MAY-2001.

This is a known issue that was discussed at length in comp.os.vms and the HP OpenVMS conference. Search there for "solutoins".

Until you said 2013 or later doesn't work, I would have said boot up use the set time=5-jun-2021:19:33 command and shutdown to update the TOY clock. Also, I don't know if XP1000 has a TOY clock. Me: VAX & AXP only. |
