All,
Just an update on this. It appears that there is a software bug which is
fixed in APAR IY52435.
Cheers
Steve

Christopher and all,
Thanks for the reply. That is another issue I have with the files been dated
in the future, but that is another story at the moment. (My /usr directory
is dated Aug 18 2027 on one test system!)
The LOCALE settings would appear to have no effect on the order as 2 of my
systems have the following LOCALE settings
LANG=en_GB
LC_COLLATE="en_GB"
LC_CTYPE="en_GB"
LC_MONETARY="en_GB"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB"
LC_TIME="en_GB"
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB"
LC_ALL=
yet one displays the month first and the other displays the date first. It
was looking good up until this point with the USA versus Europe LANG
settings but these 2 systems have just blown that thoery out of the water.
Cheers
Steve

Steve,
ls -l shows you the date and time of a file if it is less than 6 months old.
After that, the time is replaced with the year.
As for your first system, that file is dated in the future [ August of this
year ] (assuming your system has the correct date and time
set.). So, it gives the year also, since it is not today or the past six
months.
As for the order of date and month, I would suspect that your $LANG or other
regional settings do not match. Like English-USA verses
Europe. Sorry, I manage RS/6000 all over world, but we always set them up
as we do in USA so I am not sure about the date order
difference.

All,
Hopefully a quick question. We have several systems (aix 5L) which when you
do a "ls -l" command the output is as follows
drwxr-xr-x 45 bin bin 1024 Aug 18 2004 usr
and on other systems when you do a "ls -l" the output is as follows
drwxr-xr-x 42 root system 1024 11 Feb 10:14 usr
If you compare the two you will see that the date part on the first one is
in the order "month date year/time" (Aug 18 2004) and the second one the
date format is "date month year/time" (11 Feb 10:14).
Can anyone shed any light as to what is happening here and how we can make
all the systems display the date part in a consistent manner?
Thanks in advance
Steve Copper
