RE: With the upcoming time change....

Hi Joe,
        I've had a quick look at NTP ... but I didn't see any reference to
an iSeries interface ...
... but wait ... my STRTCPSVR command has an *NTP value ! Perhaps this may
be worth investigating further.

Jeff

I'm sure such a gadget exists, Jeff, but you might also be interested in
Network Time Protocol, or NTP.  This is a simple Internet service that
allows time synchronization:
