RE: Daylight Saving Change

Good question.  We don't use the job scheduler.  Instead we use:
SBMJOB CMD(CHGSYSVAL QHOUR  VALUE('03')) JOB($SPRINGFWD)
         JOBQ(QTXTSRCH) LOG(4 00 *SECLVL) LOGCLPGM(*YES)
         SCDDATE(*SUN) SCDTIME(020000)

Likewise, in the fall, we'll use the same SBMJOB with the "fall-back":
SBMJOB CMD(CHGSYSVAL QHOUR  VALUE('02')) JOB($SPRINGFWD)
         JOBQ(QTXTSRCH) LOG(4 00 *SECLVL) LOGCLPGM(*YES)
         SCDDATE(*SUN) SCDTIME(030000)

Either way, you'll have to ensure that there are no conflicts on your job
scheduler.  Do you have any jobs that start at 2:30?  On April 1st, they'll
never run.  In the fall when we change over, I'm pretty sure they'll be run
twice (but maybe not, cuz the "Next Submit Date" will have been updated and
_perhaps_ that will keep it from being run twice.  I wouldn't count on it
unless IBM specifically told you so.)

No matter what, we make sure that we don't run into that situation.  We have
no jobs scheduled to be started between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m.

I have a question.  I know this will work in the Spring, but what about in
the Fall?  If the job is scheduled for 3:00 am and changes the time to 2:00
am, will it run again when the clock hits 3:00 am again, and again and
again?  Will setting the option to run *ONCE take care of this?

If you can't do that, it's news to me. We have have job schedule entry set
to run at 1:00am that runs this command:

CHGSYSVAL SYSVAL(QHOUR) VALUE('02')

and have never had a problem.

I'm assuming you could do the same thing with QUTCOFFSET, but we never
bother with it.

If it doesn't work for you, it could be an authority issue.  Make sure the
User Profile adding it has lots.
