RE: Daylight savings time question. V5R3

So, what is more correct for a simple shop here in the middle of the
good ol' USA?  The terms I remember being used in dealing with Daylight
savings time here have to do with what phase you're in.  As in in the
winter here we say "Central Standard Time" and in the summer we would be
in "Central Daylight Time".

Going by what you've told me Bruce I'd say that QN0600S would be the one
I'd want to use.  Is this the option most US Central Time Zone shops use
that don't have to worry about people in other time zones using their
system?

The difference is the name.  Not all countries in the same time zone
(UTC 
offset of -6 for instance) may use the same abbreviations and names.
Since 
these names/abbreviations can show up on panels, reports, etc it's 
important to have the name match the expectations of the country where
the 
system is being used.  This is one of the reasons there are so many 
*TIMZON descriptions supplied with i5/OS.

Other then the "Daylight Savings Time Name" what exactly is the
difference between the time zone identifiers

"QN0600S" Central Standard Time (S) - Daylight Saving Time (DST)
And
"QN0600CST" Central Standard Time (CST) - Central Daylight Time (CDT)

They both seem to have the automatic daylight savings time "Enable
Daylight Saving Time" options setup the same.  What am I missing, what's
the difference?

John.
