I need to convert a time stored in POSIX time format* to i timestamp format. I've found a couple of posts** from Scott Klement with some helpful code, but I'm curious about one detail.

The result of CEEUTCO (get system offset from UTC) is retrieved only once per activation group. It is stored in a static variable and reused whenever the procedure is called. Does this mean that the API retrieves the system time from a job-specific setting? If the system's timezone is changed, does this mean that jobs in progress are not effected by the change?


* number of seconds since 1970-01-01-00.00.00 UTC (not counting leap seconds)
