RE: Service message: Daylight saving time ends

Shouldn't any site that uses journaling be concerned about setting the clock
back ??? If you didn't, the time stampts associated with journal entries
would be wrong... 

Wouldn't it be safer to power down, wait and hour, do a manual IPL and set
the date and time then?

Is this an issue that might affect your ability to recover using journals
????

Hi

Just in case that you have forgot about DST - Daylight saving time: Your
AS/400 should probably have changed it's system values for QTIME and
QUTCOFFSET the upcoming weekend. 

A simple way to do this is (today) to execute the following commands

SBMJOB CMD(CHGSYSVAL SYSVAL(QHOUR) VALUE('01')) 
  JOB(CHGSYSVAL1) JOBQ(QCTL)
  SCDDATE(*SUN) SCDTIME(020000) 

and

SBMJOB CMD(CHGSYSVAL SYSVAL(QUTCOFFSET) VALUE('-0500')) 
  JOB(CHGSYSVAL2) JOBQ(QCTL)
  SCDDATE(*SUN) SCDTIME(020000) 

Of cause the values in theese commands might differ from above depending on
your location and environment. More details about YOUR values on
http://www.timeanddate.com/time/dst2003b.html (you should probably look in
"Local time transitions" column)
