Let me guess. This is another of those "mainframe limitations" because the windows team doesn't have to report utilization therefore the "problem" isn't seen over there.
-----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John McKown Sent: Monday, March 10, 2014 11:59 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Another reason to hate the time change We produce reports on our z/OS CPU utilization. They are reported in local time, with "a.m." and "p.m.". Because apparently only military (and pilots) understand Zulu time. So, twice a year, I must explain why we never seem to have any activity on Sunday from 02:00 to 03:00 in the spring, and how we manage to run so much work on one Sunday from 02:00 to 03:00 in the fall. The reason, of course, is the stupid time change. 02:00 to 03:00 does not exist on "Spring Forward" Sunday, and from 02:00 to 03:00 is a two hour period on "Fall Backwards" Sunday. And every year, I hear the "WTF???" on Monday morning. <sigh/> -- Wasn't there something about a PASCAL programmer knowing the value of everything and the Wirth of nothing?
