I've wondered about the lag time on this procedure.  How much time is lost by 
the reading
 of the ICF file, any zone conversions needed,  and the changing of system 
value QTIME.  Of
course a lapse of 10 or 15 seconds would not be that critical for most AS/400 
applications.
The 400's keep fairly good time, unlike our UPS which keeps rotten time.  
Almost all of them
are in Indiana where we don't give a rip about daylight savings time.  If 
someone has a program
that does dial out, retrieve the time and changes QTIME I might be interested.

How can we address the Y2K issue when most systems don't even grasp the Daylight
savings time issue?  For example when I call somewhere and I get a recording 
that their
hours are such and such Eastern Standard Time when they mean Eastern Daylight 
Time or
the acceptable generic Eastern Time, it upsets me.  Pacific Standard Time is 
ALWAYS 3
hours different from here.  But Pacific time may be 2 or 3 hours different 
depending on what
time of the year it is.


SNIP>Phil, 

We do not dial out to get the time.  Does anyone Dial out to get the time
synchronized on  their AS400 and if so, where? 

Thanks,
Wanda
