Hi Mike,
Hmmm, I searched the archives for TZRANGEs but the only hit was your note below. :( Does anybody have a copy handy? I’d love to look at its “guts”. :) -Mike From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU] On Behalf Of Mike Walter Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2011 9:45 AM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: Determining Daylight Savings Time Status Mike, Search the list archives for TZRANGES EXEC. It builds the records for SYSTEM CONFIG (IIRC by default out to 2042). If that's not what you are trying to do, maybe the file can be used in your EXEC, our you can rip out its guts?

The CP QUERY TIMEZONE command will show you defined timezones, and which one is active – but not the start/end dates of the zone. I’m trying to avoid coding up a hard-coded table in a REXX exec – but can’t for the life of me figure out any other way to do it, and even though the zones are coded in SYSTEM CONFIG I can’t find any way to query them in VM. Ideally, I need to do something like: DST=IsThisDST(mm/dd/yy) – and I only really care about the calendar date (even though DST doesn’t normally “kick in” until 2:00am). -Mike _____ The information contained in this e-mail and any accompanying documents may contain information that is confidential or otherwise protected from disclosure.
