Hi Lizette, You may want to code the following in your profile and never have to worry about time change -- unless of course, some smart (?) politician decides to push for another change to DST:
TZ=EST5EDT export TZ=EST5EDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0 Regards, Jasbir Chauhan -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Lizette Koehler Sent: Monday, December 29, 2008 9:29 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: UNIX and System time in z/OS running z/OS V1.9 with JAVA in Unix I would like to know if there is a way to establish the JAVA in UNIX to always get the system date and time. I would like to reduce the need to update the TZ parameter each time the time jumps. I do have an /etc/profile which is fairly basic. As shipped by IBM. However, after reading the configuration manual for UNIX and JAVA, I am lost in translation. Any help is appreciated.
