Changing time Date
Dear Listers In my shop, on a z990 box, we have parallel sysplex with catalog sharing and our systems are on z/OS 1.6. Java application guys here wants to test his application in different time zone, time and date from USS. He could managed to get away with timezone by using the TZ environment variable. Changing time date appears to be beyond CLOCKxx and TZ environment variable. Can you please tell me whether such a change possibled time?, as I believe that each z/OS system picksup date and time from TOD clock or something like that from the mainframe. Can date time be changed without affecting the other systems in the sysplex? Is the data time change is a straight forward one? TIAArun __ Yahoo!

TIAArun There are various software products that can do this for MVS jobs, but I don't know if they work for the z/OS Unix environment. We still have one LPAR with such a product (HourGlass) and I just tried adding the DD cards to change the date/time and ran a rexx program via BPXBATCH and it did nothing. (that doesn't mean there isn't a way with this product).
