Yes, if you scheduled the leap second via STP or ETR. It would expire in 2 seconds if you aren't using leap seconds > If, at 17:59:59 I had issued STIMER WAIT,BINTVL=[3 seconds] > would the wait have expired at 18:00:01? No, it would expire at 18:00:02 regardless of whether you are using leap seconds > > Unless the answer to both questions is "Yes," there's a bug. > > -- gil George Kozakos z/OS Software Service, Level 2 Supervisor ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
