Time using *LOCALE

["Amit Mukherjee" <amitxm@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

I can't seeme to get the correct time using a *locale object.

 

I am in the Mountain Time (GMT - 7.00) and the LC_COD section in my *locale object is as follows

 

LC_TOD

tzdiff   -420
tname    "<M><S><T>"
dstname  "<M><D><T>"
dststart 3,1,7,0
dstend  10,1,7,0
dstshift 3600

END LC_TOD

 

The *locale is compiled with CCSID 37.

The sysvals are

QLOCALE *none

QUTCOFFSET  -7.00

 

I am using the *locale object in my user profile. The time I am getting is 1 hr ahead of the local time. If, say local time is 4.00 p.m, the time returned is 5.00 pm. If I don't use the *locale object the time I am getting the GMT (7 hrs ahead of the local time). Also I noticed that whatever values I use for the parms like dstshift,tzdiff the time returned is alwyays 1 hr ahead of the local time.

 

What am I doing wrong. Any pointer will help.

 

Thanks.

-Amit
