When I did my "It's About Time..." session at COMMON last week, I said that
Indiana adopted it this year, and someone in the audience said "Not all
counties".

I agree with your point on item 2 - they should have fixed the existing
objects.  However you bring up an interesting point in your earlier email
about Canada.  I too wondered if there were people in certain timezones
that were not adopting the modified DST.  Indiana finally gets force fed
DST and now they want to extend it.  This is going to go well.  I am sure
that if you can pick whether or not to adopt modified DST the courts in
Indiana are going to be busy again.

Re: US DST Changes - 2007






I'm not really happy with appending the numbered suffix to QTIMZON for a
few reasons:

1.    The number of changes that we would ever be allowed to go to is 9,
unless they go to alpha suffixes (at which point they should have started
at "A" for the correct EBCDIC collating sequence).
2.    You will wind up with obsolete time zone objects on your system.
Admittedly they are small (8K), but everything you put in the way of
SAVSYS
slows it down.  If the obsolete objects will *NEVER be re-used, then the
PTF should have fixed the existing objects, assuming that they match the
shipped values.
3.    I think that changing the existing objects would have more
consistent
with the way the system enacts other changes.

It appears that IBM is committed to this approach.

I hate the time changes.  I hated them before this craziness, and I hate
them even more now.  Government nonsense ...

My understanding ...
1. We should download and apply this PTF anytime convenient

2. After , and change our time zone to the appropriate "2" time zone (with
the new DST definitions) after the first Monday this November and 1-March
next year.

Do you guys agree?

Downloading and applying... Stay tuned.  I have a feeling that this fix
makes it necessary to DL and apply, then switch to a new zone.  If the
gov't decides to switch it back, you'll just pop back to the old time
zone setting.

The fix is 58k, so an ECS download is fine... I guess I'll have your
answer right now.

Currently system is on QN0600CST.
START = April/Sunday/1st/2:00:00AM
END = October/Sunday/Last/2:00:00AM
Downloaded, applied.
No changes to the QN0600CST.
Added the QN0600CST2.
QN0600CST2 settings are as follows:
START = March/Sunday/2nd/2:00:00AM
END = November/Sunday/1st/2:00:00AM

So - you have to DL and apply, and then ***AFTER THE FIRST SUNDAY IN
NOVEMBER*** switch to one of the new zones.

The title for PTF SI24717 is "Additional time zones for United States"
http://www-912.ibm.com/a_dir/as4ptf.nsf/9939a36675eadb978625710200584cbd
/11ff964a7d83baac862571c500528178?OpenDocument

For example, I am on QN0500EST.  I don't see any changes to that.  I do
see a set of new ones:
   QN0500EST3 Eastern Standard Time / Eastern Daylight Time
   QN0600CST2 Central Standard Time / Central Daylight Time
   QN0700MST3 Mountain Standard Time / Mountain Daylight Time
   QN0800PST2 Pacific Standard Time / Pacific Daylight Time
   QN0900AST2 Alaska Standard Time / Alaska Daylight Time
   QN1000HAS2 Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time / Hawaii-Aleutian Daylight
Time

Will this handle any date changes on the existing time zones?

US DST Changes - 2007






Go here:  http://tinyurl.com/fmfwj

It's an APAR from IBM about the DST changes for 2007 for the US.

V5R3 PTF = SI24716
V5R4 PTF = SI24717

And before the deluge comes, daylight saving time ends in 2006 at 1:59am
on October 29th.  Go to the following links for info on the why and
when, as well as calculators for US and EU.

and how the newer hardware and OS versions do it for you.
