You're welcome. Don’t forget that DB2 (or any of the other IBM subsystems) don't give a horses patoot about local time. The only thing that cares these days is application code.
Most shops don't want to "do it right" (i.e. correct the appl code to use TZ/OFFSET) and continue to perpetuate the old behavior. HTH, -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Carmen Vitullo Sent: Tuesday, November 6, 2018 7:40 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Speaking of time change... Thanks Mike and thanks to Allan Staller, I didn't see his response in my email but I wanted to thank him also - on fall back we do shut the systems down, wait an hour, mostly due to DB2, and some home grown applications that read SMF and cannot handle the overlap. I have no issues setting the STP on a Friday before a time change, this thing that has changed to much is the inability for 'operators' and I use the term loosely to read some procedures and issue 2 commands to shut the system down and bring it backup, but that seems to be the wave of the future, I know its not Friday yet but I had to vent... thanks again all Carmen Vitullo ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Schwab" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, November 5, 2018 5:05:36 PM Subject: Re: Speaking of time change... Whatever abbreviations you put in will be displayed. And it does work for Australia and other Down Under locations.
