Flash (Alert) Abstract Daylight savings time adjustment may not be reported correctly by CEELOCT Content Europe will be implementing their DST changes this upcoming weekend and USA will be doing so the following weekend. ======================== It was discovered that recent Language Environment APAR PI78252 is causing applications to receive an incorrect current time value after a change to the system time for Daylight Savings Time. The types of applications that are affected are Language Environment applications that make use of: Language Environment date/time callable services related to the local time, CEELOCT and CEEGMTO; High level language semantics that make use of these services, including the COBOL ACCEPT FROM TIME statement and the CURRENT-TIME function. PL/I application which use functions like date(), time(), datetime(), days(), and secs() which use CEELOCT under the covers.
The circumventions immediately available are: to back off (smp/e RESTORE) the PTFs for PI78252, or to IPL the affected system after a Daylight Savings Time adjustment has been made. APAR PI78252 has been marked PE. Final resolution will be shipped via OPEN APAR PI98400. Customers that are unable to IPL after the DST change and cannot back out the PTFs, can download the appropriate relief from the /fromibm/mvs directory on testcase.boulder.ibm.com LEETC.PI89400.HLE77B0 for z/OS 2.3 LEETC.PI89400.HLE77A0 for z/OS 2.2 LEETC.PI89400.HLE7790 for z/OS 2.1 ________________________________ This email message and any accompanying materials may contain proprietary, privileged and confidential information of CIT Group Inc. or its subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively, "CIT"), and are intended solely for the recipient(s) named above.
