Yes, the TOD is steered to reflect the change in the ETS. This takes about 7 hours, the steering rate is 7 hours per second of adjustment. > For a "Time Control Parameter Change event" where does the leap second get > reflected? Still in the hardware TOD clock? It effectively stops for one > second? Or in CVTLSO? z/OS does not affect the hardware TOD clock. If the leap second change is positive, Timer processing spins on all CPUs for the amount of the leap second change and CVTLSO is updated. STCK time does not change but UTC/GMT jumps backward due to the change in CVTLSO.
