Changing the TIMEZONE in the system config only comes into play at IPL time. System looks at the dates specified and used them to determine the timezone to use. Check the dates if you are IPLing and not seeing a change. If you want to change what is currently being used, use the SET TIMEZONE PDT or SET TIMEZONE PST command. The TIMEZONE has to be defined in the system config. Of course at IPL it goes with the dates defined in the Timezone_Boundary cards. Timezone_definition PDT West 07.00.00 Timezone_definition PST West 08.00.00

The laptop that controls the z9BC is 13 seconds off from our network time. We have tried to change the time by changing TIMEZONE in the SYSTEM CONFIG file. We can change from PST to PDT. That worked okay. When we change from PDT to PST, the change we made to SYSTEM CONFIG is not being done. What else can I try ? ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
