I have a progran which runs every Sunday morning at 2 AM. When it determines that it is the correct Sunday for DST it adds or subtracts an hour from the current time. Albert York

I understand he has been doing this for much longer than the 2+ years I have been here. I am looking into automating it this year. I am fine with the servers and even our old W2K PC's. The iSeries, however, will need to be done manually as far as I can see. http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/software/globalization/dst.html 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. As far as I can see, I don't need to install the DST PTF's and should just leave things as they are and have my boss, the owner, change the time manually. Any thoughts? Thanks.
