Sam,

The APAR text talks about the TOD clock, not the local time.   So this isn't
really a problem for any shop that doesn't use GMT=LOCAL, correct?   Or is
that not the way you interpret it?   I supposed I can open a PMR for
clarification.

Strange that the description / title says "z/OS 1.8 only", but the problem says
HBB7730 and above.
