I am setup up with the correct offset in the CLOCKxx member in SYS1.PARMLIB.
When I enter 3.17 in ISPF I do not see the message that says the adjustment for EST/EDT is there, and my $ date function looks like GMT rather than EST/EDT setting. I had thought based on my notes that all I needed to do was set the TZ parm in the /etc/init.profile (which all I did was copy the samples profile member) and include the TZ setting in /etc/profile. But then as I read more it talked about a /.profile setting. So I added that. I will continue to pursue documentation to see what might be incorrect or missing. I have a customer that is working on using JAVA with DB2 and so they are keen to have the date accurate.
