Error description
When formatting SMF 115 and 116 records using the MQ sample CSQ4SMFD the output from this job may return date values not within a valid range. Change team finds an invalid date/time value will be returned when the time being formatted has not been set (for example re: the field QCTLSTM ) yet because there have been no requests within the current SMF interval. Review of the hex print in this output (just prior to the formatted section) will show that the time value at offset x20 is set to all zero values.
