Re: Daylight Saving Change

You'd think that in the 21st Century, if the world (well part of it) is 
going to persist in this idiotic clock changing ritual, that at least 
Europe & North America could agree to at least start the stupid thing on 
the same date, instead of a week apart.  At least they end it on the same 
date.

We had to change about 40 AS/400 last weekend.
So we did use the scheduler and a CL program.

We created a CL called Sommer which set the clock +1 hour and the UTC 
offset
to +02

Imagine what the CL Winter does? :)

We set the Hour to the Hour +1 because in the first year (7 years ago)
"Sommer" came in a Jobqueue which was busy and the CL started the next
morning. So be aware schedule in a Queue with more than 1 job or read the
time and change it according.

Groetjes (Greetings)
