Use of time-of-day as a KEY has us shutting down for an hour each year. Cheers! JD
-----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of McGee, Cletus Sent: Wednesday, October 26, 2005 10:33 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Time change this weekend. I am new to this company here and one of the things they do is to shut the system down on the fall time change and wait one hour before they bring the system back up. Outside of scheduler issues, is there any reason to do this? One that keeps coming up is the timestamp on VSAM files being an issue. Some questions. One does anyone else do this and if so why? Second, is there real reason why this should happen, if so what are they? Or are they just working off one bad past experience. Thanks in advance. ******************* Cletus McGee Technical Services (334) 394-3320 Have a grand day ----------------------------------------- The information contained in this email/fax is confidential; it is intended only for the use of the individual or entity named above.
