First though, apologies for asking what perhaps has been covered before -- perhaps even asked by me. I am having no luck searching the archives. I search on CVTTZ and get no hits even though I have IBM-MAIN messages in my own Outlook that contain CVTTZ.
1. Humor a guy with almost no operations experience with the world's most newbie operations question. If you are a shop in North America, how will you "convert" your z/OS instances to summer time next month? Do you or does your console automation software have to enter a SET command, or does it happen automagically internally to z/OS on some pre-configured schedule? (I remember I had a P/390 back in the day and VM had an internal table that did the time change automagically but I recall I had to re-IPL OS/390 to pick up the change.) 2. When the above happens, will CVTTZ and CVTLDTO get updated on the fly? If I inspected them one second would I see an offset of, e.g., 8 hours (in TOD or "TOD-high word" format as appropriate) and if I inspected them a second later I would see 7 hours?
