Re: Set Clock Command:
It depends on your applications and how they are written. If they
use the TIME macro, or the various language equivalents, you may
have a problem at switch times. See the ZONE parameter of the TIME
macro.
During the transition in the Spring, you can have a few transactions
that look like they ran an hour longer than they did. In the Fall
you can have transactions that look like they end before they begin.
This is only because the programs use local time as opposed to
UTC/GMT. With a program using GMT there is no issue. If you want to
use Local time, just add EST/EDT (or your local time zone) to the
printouts.
