"Falling back" isn't as simple as it seems. First of all it isn't gradual (maybe it should have been, but it isn't [Gradual time adjustment was added in V5R3, but models 7xx, 170 and 250, all of which can run V5R3 are incapable of this function.]). This can cause some applications to break, but I would be surprised if BRMS is one of them as it is developed in Rochester, where I'm sure that all of the 5000 left hands know exactly what all of the 5000 right hands are doing:-))))) I do know that MQ Series and SAP had issues, but I am unaware as to the extent of the problems. I would point out that it is theoretically possible to have more trivial problems when you "spring forward". I wrote an application last week that did a time prediction, and it dawned on me that it were running during "spring ahead", the prediction would be inaccurate. I assessed the risk/reward/cost of adjusting my prediction, and I determined that the "screw it" method made the most reasonable sense.

How does BRMS handle the automatic time changes with V5R3 and the newer hardware platforms which change the time automatically? Assume all the systems are synchronized to the same time server and are in the same time zone. Logically, I'd think that BRMS wouldn't care, because the time change, especially fall back is slowly implemented, not just snapped backward - the time in fact never reverses. Thoughts? -- Justin C.
