If you have stuff written in EXEC (not EXEC2 or REXX), the time function will return the system clock, in this case in GMT.
So, if you are an old VM shop with lots of EXECs written, it is something to consider. Tom Duerbusch THD Consulting >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 06/16/05 8:28 AM >>> I'm considering setting time to GMT for z/VM to eliminate the need for bi-yearly IPL's. We don't use z/VM for anything other than virtualizing Linux, and we have mission critical apps that don't always allow downtime for something as silly as clock changes that made farmers happy 100 years ago. It was nearly a month after the change to CDT that we IPL'd z/VM, and that was because the box needed a POR. So, because we don't have any users who would be confused by the discrepancy between their watch and z/VM, are there any downsides to setting the clock to GMT? +--------------------------------------------------+ | Chris Little OKDHS Platform Services | | IS Operating Systems Specialist IV | | email [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | work (405)522-1306 cell (405)229-7822 | +--------------------------------------------------+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
