The year 2010 bug !

[Former Member]

Hi,

We did not have a year 2000 bug but SAP invented the year 2010 bug for us !

Check note 1422843 Wrong Deletion date in spool request

All ABAP releases from 4.6c up to 7.1 are affected.

Currently our TST03 table is filling up very fast and the corrected kernal is not yet available....

Happy new year !

We patched our 7.10 kernels 2 weeks ago and 7.00 1 week ago and it solved the problems (see the related notes as well).

We delete spool entries based on creation date for 30 days so that the attached report was not required.

For those interested, see also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2000_problem#Year_2010_problem

Cheers,

Julius

ps: The note is only current not available as it is being edited. Should appear again soon.

There is still no corrected kernel for our Windows Itanium servers...

There is a follow-on problem as well, however we have not experienced the symptoms described in it ( [SAP Note 1427188|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1427188] ).

Probably a safer bet is to download the new SNOTE correction report only (we did not need it as we delete on creation date) and not apply the kernel patch until SAP provides a new one, and then not be the first to apply it either.

Perhaps we should have kept this in the "basis" forum...

Cheers,

Julius
