AccommoDATE

AccommoDATE is a date simulation tool that enables Unisys mainframes to use a date other than today's date for program testing. It enables users who have a single system, or those who must use time on a production system, to test new programs or software modifications under a virtualized date without having to reboot and without affecting costly production runs.

Unisys users find AccommoDATE to be essential for testing date-sensitive software, such as quarterly or year-end programs. The primary benefits of AccommoDATE are:

  AccommoDATE enables users to test a variety of programs
   over a range of dates, without arranging special time on a
   computer booted with a simulated test date. It also means
   that different programs may be tested simultaneously, each
   using a different date.

  AccommoDATE requires no changes to existing runstreams
   or programs. Are you inserting special code to "date-test"
   your software, only to remove it after testing is completed?
   With AccommoDATE installed on your system, you can
   place your programs directly into production after testing,
   without code modifications.
