I believe (there's no documentation and IBM has rejected my RCF that it be provided; Peter Relson (IIRC) has suggested that I must appeal to "common knowledge" for the information) that STCKCONV, the IBM utility for converting historical (E)TOD values such as might appear in log files, is ignorant of the calendar of historical leap seconds. And I believe z/OS does not employ Tz_database for setting CVTLSO. Do other OSes employ the leap seconds part of the Tz_database, perhaps through NTP client? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
