The difference is the name. Not all countries in the same time zone (UTC offset of -6 for instance) may use the same abbreviations and names. Since these names/abbreviations can show up on panels, reports, etc it's important to have the name match the expectations of the country where the system is being used. This is one of the reasons there are so many *TIMZON descriptions supplied with i5/OS.

V5R3 Other then the "Daylight Savings Time Name" what exactly is the difference between the time zone identifiers "QN0600S" Central Standard Time (S) - Daylight Saving Time (DST) And "QN0600CST" Central Standard Time (CST) - Central Daylight Time (CDT) They both seem to have the automatic daylight savings time "Enable Daylight Saving Time" options setup the same. What am I missing, what's the difference? John. NOTE: This electronic message and attachment(s), if any, contains information which is intended solely for the designated recipient(s).
