The heck with it! I wanted it for the "Date:" line in an outgoing e-mail but it appears that SMTP provides a sent timestamp if I don't, so the heck with it!
Thanks all for your efforts. Why should something so basic be so hard?

I want to get the 3-or-so character *name* of the local time zone in Rexx. What is the most straightforward way? I get lots of hits that explain how to calculate the local offset from GMT, but what I need is the name such as 'EST' or 'PDT' (and yes, I know the limitations thereof, and that they are not necessarily unique, etc., etc.). I just want to get it. I would prefer not to have a table and calculate it from the offset. Environment: Rexx running in an STC under TSO (IRXEXEC). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
