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

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.

Lizette
