Hi, Allow me to be much more specific. Yes, system values do exist, and are available when OS/400 has started. System values are kept in a user space within the operating system. (Curiously, they are not objects!) To run DST from a manual IPL, only the Licensed Internal Code most be installed. OS/400 does not even have to be installed. So as OS/400 has not yet been started, the data from System Values is not yet available.

I find it hard to accept that the system values do not exist during DST at IPL. I can accept the the OS/400 interfaces to the values are not available, but the values themselves must surely "exist". Otherwise, the implication is that they're created from nothing during IPL. Surely IBM knows how to locate and access the values. I mean, they wrote the parts of OS/400 that make them available. How can it be possible that it _can't_ be done during DST?
