Beware leap seconds: some sites set CVTLSO to 0; others to the STP value that IBM recommends. In the latter case, ignoring CVTLSO can cause the date to be wrong 0.03% of the time (always around midnight), or the time about a half minute off always. If your STCK values are archival, you must correct with the value of CVTLDTO and CVTLSO in effect at the time of the STCK. (The Principles of Operation contains tables of the latter.) -- gil
