Re: Daylight Saving Change

["Eduard van den Braken" <e.vd.braken@xxxxxxxxx>]

We had to change about 40 AS/400 last weekend.
So we did use the scheduler and a CL program.

We created a CL called Sommer which set the clock +1 hour and the UTC offset
to +02

Imagine what the CL Winter does? :)

We set the Hour to the Hour +1 because in the first year (7 years ago)
"Sommer" came in a Jobqueue which was busy and the CL started the next
morning. So be aware schedule in a Queue with more than 1 job or read the
time and change it according.

Groetjes (Greetings)
