Under some circumstances an IPL to set the GMT time is necessary, due to IMS restrictions (see message below). I received this after a SET CLOCK during a DR exercise.
Morelatto Gedas do Brasil DFS0478A INVALID CLOCK SETTING. EXCESSIVE UTC OFFSET. RESET CLOCK IMMEDIATELY. Explanation: The UTC offset must be within the range of -11:00 to +14:00 hours. The value is outside this range. The operator probably made an error in the SET CLOCK command. This highlighted message indicates that the operator must take action immediately. System Action: This message remains highlighted until the clock is corrected. System Operator Response: Enter a SET CLOCK command with the correct clock setting or local time value. The system continues to process transactions, but the stored time stamps are not convertible to the current local time. Correcting the clock to a valid local time eliminates the cause of this message and removes the highlighted messages from the screen. If entering the correct local time value does not correct the problem, the TOD clock must contain an invalid UTC value. An IPL might be required to set a correct UTC value in the TOD clock. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
