  • Ticket #89

    • Property Summary check_info_segs: ensure 4-digit years used in info segment header line date → validate_info_seg: ensure 4-digit year is used in info segment header line date

  • Ticket #89 – Description

    initial v1  
    11Changes to Multics info segment made after 2000 need to better distinguish the year of change in the info segment header line, so there will be no roll-over of dates around the year 2070.  The current rule is to always use a 4-digit year in the info segment header line.

    3   12/26/84  check_info_seg, cis
     3  85-10-10  validate_info_seg, vis
    44
    55would become:
    66
    7   12/26/1984  check_info_seg, cis
     7  1985-10-10  validate_info_seg, vis
    88
    9 The check_info_seg command should be changed to ensure the date used in info segment header line is in 4-digit format.
     9Dates not in calendar-date format (with year appearing first, followed my month and day) would be diagnosed as errors, recommending replacement with a 4-digit year in a calendar-date format.  Thus:
     10 
     11  02/06/85  check_info_segs, cis
     12
     13would be diagnosed as an error, to be replaced by:
     14
     15  1985-02-06  check_info_segs, cis
     16
     17
