o How did it get it wrong? o Didn't it use the TIME macro? o Did it read the offset parameters from CVT at startup and forget to refresh them? o Did it STIMER to the start of the window and overlook the SET TIMEZONE? o Did it use STIMER DINTVL= when STIMER LT= would have been proper? o What happens with an outstanding STIMER LT= when the clock is advanced/retarded for Daylight Saving Time - From the console? - By ETR or STP? In which of these cases does z/OS DTRT? Is there so little information in the RM that a RCF is appropriate? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
