If I submit a job on system1 and ask for submission time, I think I would want system1's time. If I submit it to run on system3 and ask for executuion time, I think I want system3's time. Of course, if e.g. system3 is a sysplex with images running in different time zones, I'd probably want GMT time. > Dataset1 gets timestamp 10:00, the >*next* dataset2 can get timestamp 09:10 if created 10 minutes after >dataset1. Quite confusing. I can't see how that would happen unless the two time stamps were based upon a different kind of time. Or perhaps if the job terminated and was restarted on a different member in the 'plex that ran in a different time zone and I was asking for local time. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
