Thanks alot for responding. I will confess, I made the Change to tod and I set it wrong. I am [if you didnt already know] am really green to z/vm and sysprog stuff in general. A little background, I was a cobol programmer and was asked to back up the sysprog, just incase something happened to him they might have someone to place a call to service or something. Well our Sysprog is now gone and they offered me the job, I took it and I openly admit, admit I am way over my head. I am a fast learner and Love a good challange. I plan on fighting this till they make me stop. This list has been a great source of info and I thank all for the help.
Back to my question, I set the clock wrong, having never done it before I shut down all my VSE's [that are guests] and issued a shutdown on the vm console. I then proceeded to my HMC and issued a LOAD. at the load prompt from the vm console it asked me if I wanted to change the tod. I said yes and aswered the messages. after i put in the date and time I waited and waited ..... I then realiezed that I needed to enable tod from the hmc. I then proceeded to the HMC and Enabled the TOD. The console then asked me again if I wanted to change the tod. this time it was correct so I replied no. But, 6 min had passed since the start of all this and now my time is off. I was reading in the vm manual and it refers to a command SET VTOD TIME HH:MM:SS I was hoping that someone could tell me that If i issued this at the console I could adjust the time "on the fly" and It wouldnt have any problems.
