RE: Service message: Daylight saving time ends

I'd have more concern about "stiction" on the disk drives on some of the 
older machines than I would about journals.

Most dts's (date/time stamps) in OS/400 lack the UTC offset, so there 
might always be problems. I don't think however that journalling is one of 
the critical areas. The main 'key' when using journalling is a sequence 
number. DTS's are mostly used to locate the sequence number. But of cause 
- if you want to roll back to Oct 26 at 01:30 you have to think twice if 
you're doing the right thing.

Sure. If you can afford a shutdown for 1-2 hours and a 'real man' awake at 
that time (or a shutdown until Monday morning, this is a method that can'g 
give any problems.
