Well, something did not work as I expected. (My original post: https://listserv.ua.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind1810&L=IBM-MAIN&O=D&P=420113 ) The command... $TA STTZ,T=98.00,'$VS,''SET TIMEZONE=E.02.00''' ...issued on Wed. Oct. 24th did switch local time back from IDT (UTC+3) to IST (UTC+2) this morning at 2AM (local time switched back to 1AM), and I've corrected TIMEZONE statement at CLOCK00 to read "E.02.00.00" rather than "E.03.00.00", but USS still thinks we're on IDT.
Here are some USS commands I've issued this morning (I did not change anything on USS parameters since May): IBMUSER:/u/ibmuser: >env MAIL=/usr/mail/IBMUSER _BPX_TERMPATH=OMVS PATH=/Z22D/opt/SP/bin:/Z22D/opt/GIT/bin:/bin:. SHELL=/bin/sh PS1=$LOGNAME:$PWD: > COLUMNS=134 _=/bin/env LOGNAME=IBMUSER STEPLIB=none LANG=C LIBPATH=/lib:/usr/lib:. TERM=dumb HOME=/u/ibmuser LINES=62 TZ=IST-2IDT MANPATH=/usr/man/%L NLSPATH=/usr/lib/nls/msg/%L/%N:/usr/lib/nls/msg/%L/%N.cat TR_Options=noResumableTrapHandler IBMUSER:/u/ibmuser: >date Sun Oct 28 10:56:09 IDT 2018 IBMUSER:/u/ibmuser: >date -u Sun Oct 28 07:56:18 GMT 2018 IBMUSER:/u/ibmuser: > =====End of Display ===== UTC is correct, and one can see 'TZ=IST-2IDT', and everything on z/OS is absolutely OK, except for USS. USS still thinks we're three hours East. Is IPL required anyway (which I don't believe is necessary), or am I missing something obvious ?
