I continue to be confused.  I just don't understand why I (programmer type)
need to worry about the software clock vs. the hardware clock.  iSeries is
not a PC, and all my HLL programs read QHOUR whether directly or indirectly
unless I tell them to use the job time.

The only question I think needs answering: does the SNTP client you use
change job time or QHOUR?
