The rebuttal is that if TZ is unset, it must behave as UTC for compatibility with AIX.
Read that again and again until you agree with it. But setting TZ from the "system setting" is going in the wrong direction. TZ contains more information than the latter, namely Daylight Saving boundaries, needed to show some recent file timestamps correctly. Rather, the default TZ should be set in PARMLIB to the POSIX format, <https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap08.html#tag_08_03>, and all other offsets such as CVTLDTO derived from that. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
