Ed,

The TOD clock must only advance, never stay still or retreat. The local
time can rumba back and forth all it wants without causing any problems
to any __advanced__ software. IMS, DB2, and CICS/TS can all endure the
LOCAL clock going backwards. It confuses the <elided> out of the users,
but who cares?
