Yea, no problem.

There are many places in CP where the timestamp doesn't get reevaluated
by the current timezone.  This looks like one of them.  Perhaps the
timestamp is a literal imbedded in the code.  

I don't know if it is still the case, but the timestamp on spool files
were not dynamically being reconverted to the current timezone.

You would notice this behavior, if you had, for example, a spool file
always arrive about 3 PM.  After the timezone change, old files may now
show 2 PM or 4 PM, depending on which way the timezone went, and newer
files would still show 3 PM.

I'm not sure if it is worth the overhead of passing "every" timestamp
thru the timezone routines or not.  Many cases, yes.  Just some, I'm not
sure of.

We would be interested in hearing comments on this.

 

Before we IPLed on 10/30 for the timezone change (I usually do the SET
TIMEZONE command but there was also a VM/Secure upgrade happening), we
regenerated 

CP at 14:20 EDT.  At 14:46 EDT we IPLed our (z/VM 3.1) system.  The
timezone definitions in SYSTEM CONFIG took place and we were back one
hour, but it looks like we generated CP *after* we ipled and shows it
generated EST rather than EDT (see below).  Is this to be expected? 
Any
comments?
