I don't think anyone would dispute the fact that the IDMS application is broken - but it is a reality that many sites would rather (or perceive to be forced to) limp along with a "broken" app rather than fix it because:
We can't find developers who understand idms (at a price we are willing to pay) to fix the problems We simply do not want to invest the time and resources to clean this up TODAY we are getting accurate results from this app - TOMORROW it is someone else's problem Chris Hoelscher Technology Architect, Database Infrastructure Services Technology Solution Services : humana.com 123 East Main Street Louisville, KY 40202 Humana.com (502) 714-8615, (502) 476-2538 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Robert A.

If true then the IDMS application is broken. There is IMO no valid reason why the audit records are using local time not UTC. So long as it uses UTC the only exposure is if the CPU clock is mis-set to local time not UTC. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain CONFIDENTIAL material.
