That was true in the past. From what I have read/heard on the IMS and DB2 forums is that both of the products now use the TOD clock for their timestamps. So they are not longer affected by a T CLOCK command changing the time. This was done to get around the one hour outage that occurred during the "fall back" in the fall. I would hope that all vendor who use a "time" actually use the TOD clock anymore. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
