It would be great, but if your system is using LE, then whatever the default is setup in LE (CEE parmlib member or CEE option module depending on LE library used), is used, unles you set up your own TZ for EACH application.

If not, use its own defaults if not setup (own TZ).

But *will* it be used at all? Groete / Greetings Elardus Engelbrecht [1] - I had to show my SMTP (actually CSSMTP) team how to setup a member containing TZ=GMT-2 statement. They could do it on other LPARs where needed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
