It's something I don't do; don't know how to do; am not entitled to do. But I can imagine, staying close to existing conventions:
A USERMOD to the initiator (might this even be done in an exit?) which: If the job step contains DD STDPARM, that data set will be opened and read. If that data set contains TZ="some string" and that string is a valid POSIX time zone indication, the SVC screening will be installed to use that time zone for LOCALTIME. Some tricks necessary in case Daylight Time offset changes during the job step. SVC screening does not affect other jobs in the same LPAR, right? What are the obstacles? could the USERMOD/exit code go on cbttape.org? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
