has IBM information for DST and the PTF's needed for it. It tells about 

the

correct QTIMZON system value for each place. In our case, in Ohio, I 

would

use QN0500EST3.

The problem with this is that quite some months ago, while doing some
reading in preparation for my V5R4 upgrade, I came across this system 

value,

which on our system is set to Q0000UTC with an offset of +00:00. After I
changed it to the "correct" value, some of our packages started giving 

bad

times. In particular our QualComm system for communicating with trucks 

went

wonky. I needed to change it back ASAP. I cannot change this system 

value

now.

We also use the QualComm system, and our QTIMZON is correctly set to 
QN0500EST3 (we are in Ontario).  It doesn't seem to have caused a problem 
so far.  I think we had to restart the QualComm jobs (in the OMNIX 
subsystem) last time we changed from EDT to EST in order for QualComm to 
recognize the change.

Hope this helps,
Adam
