Thanks. And is there a Friendly Manual I should bookmark to have
all this information convenient for reference? (I'll look at
Packaging Guide, whatever it's called this year.)

I'm sorry - I hate to start up this reentrant thing again but would anyone
(everyone? g) like to suggest a term to describe a program that is
technically reentrant but that cannot be multi-tasked in a single jobstep
due to some hard-coded externality? This is not just an excuse to re-start a

Your use of correct and precise precludes any sane response.

Hi,
Have a question in regard to the TZ parm in /etc/profile and
/etc/init.options. Western Australia are trialling Daylight Saving for the
first time and I am a bit confused about the start/end time. I know that we
have to specify WAUST-8WAUDT but according to IBM if I do not specify a
I am going to guess that under UNIX it uses stdin and stdout. My impression
is that the FTP client is a happy UNIX program coexisting unhappily as an
MVS batch jobstep and TSO command.
What kind of a batch utility uses hard-coded DD names, rather than the
override list passed as parameter two
G'day,
Can't remember why I ever needed to do this! But this will work ...

RTFM. There's more parms specifying mm.ww.dd-mm.ww.dd for start and end of

set TIMEZONE to SYSTZ in the SMTPCONF file. SMTP will then get the correct
time from MVS. This works on zOS 1.4
