We have always used local time as TOD. :-( here is what I got: TOD C00F01290FABD980 25/01/2007 025 16:20:24 READY; T=0.02/0.02 18:31:22
Q TIMEZONES ZONE DIRECTION OFFSET STATUS UTC ---- 00.00.00 INACTIVE GMT ---- 00.00.00 INACTIVE JLM ---- 00.00.00 ACTIVE JDT ---- 00.00.00 INACTIVE READY; T=0.01/0.01 18:31:37 Q T TIME IS 18:31:46 JLM THURSDAY 01/25/07 CONNECT= 03:16:25 VIRTCPU= 000:00.88 TOTCPU= 000:01.11 READY; T=0.01/0.01 18:31:46 So, is this good, bad, or indifferent?
