Where I live, we use QN0600CST. The CST stands for "Central Standard Time". If you display the details for the QN0600CST object, you'll see that the standard time is described as "Central Standard Time", with CST as an abbreviation, and "Central Daylight Time" with CDT as an abbrev.
I live in the middle of the USA (the Central time zone) and that's what we've always called our time zones, CST for standard and CDT for daylight.
I'm a little confused as to why you think QN0600S would make more sense for you. Do you typically use the abbreviation "S" to refer to your time zone? I've never heard of that.

So, what is more correct for a simple shop here in the middle of the good ol' USA? The terms I remember being used in dealing with Daylight savings time here have to do with what phase you're in. As in in the winter here we say "Central Standard Time" and in the summer we would be in "Central Daylight Time". Going by what you've told me Bruce I'd say that QN0600S would be the one I'd want to use. Is this the option most US Central Time Zone shops use that don't have to worry about people in other time zones using their system? -----Original Message----- From: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Bruce Vining Sent: Monday, February 27, 2006 10:49 AM To: Midrange Systems Technical Discussion Subject: Re: Daylight savings time question. V5R3 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).
