z/OS ought to have (as in "Requirement") a single, global, last resort default for the timezone. Solaris has /etc/TIMEZONE (which looks a lot like /etc/init.options), and OS X has similar. This is not required by POSIX, but is left as an option for the implementor. POSIX does not require that when TZ is unset, conversions should be for GMT, but leaves it implementation-dependent. o This single point of control should suffice for Unix Services and Classic MVS alike, though each might have an override for its particular scope. o This should properly process time conversions both before and after year 2007 in the U.S., and anywhere in the chronicle of leap seconds. </SOAPBOX> (Strangely, I expect the strongest dissent will come from contributors other than John G.) -- gil -- StorageTek INFORMATION made POWERFUL ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
