When I first encountered UNIX, it seemed to me that the "UNI" prefix might mean "Uniform" (ignore historical and risqué wit.) On my Linux and MacOS systems, 679 $ ls -l /etc/localtime lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 34 Apr 8 09:20 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Denver ... provides a useful default for any process in which TZ is unset. Why is z/OS so moronic? And why has z/OS not adopted Olson zoneinfo? I have looked in vain for either a list of world timezones in POSIX format or a utility to convert Olson to POSIX and found none. It doesn't seem useful for the larger world that's more au courant than z/OS. On Mon, 23 Apr 2018 12:31:28 +0000, Dyck, Lionel B.
