RE: DST Helper

Ohhh boy - opened a can of worms.  =)

My procedures are for pre-V5R3 and non-i5 systems.  Should've mentioned
that.  If you're one of the ones with V5R3 or V5R4 on anything but a
5xx, you best look to Al for guidance.    Otherwise, if you're lucky
enough to be on a 5xx and have your zone set correctly, everything
**SHOULD** go on behind the scenes.

So, if I'm not syncing to an external time source, do I still have to
change 
the time on V5R3+   ??

I have a CLP which I used on V5R2 to change QHOUR to QHOUR - 1 in the
fall . 
. . it used to change QUTCOFFSET also but I have removed that for V5R3 .
. . 
Is V5R3 now smart enough to change the time by itself?

Thanks,

Steve

Note that QUTCOFFSET is not a changeable system value as of V5R3.

Here are the commands I'm using to help me stay out and party longer 
on Saturday night on the last weekend of this month and NOT receive 
any phone calls.

As long as Outlook doesn't totally screw-up the formatting you should 
be able to paste these beauties right in to a QCMD screen depending on

your timezone and choice of replication software.  YMMV, but it'll 
save you some time if you have systems that don't automatically do it

for you.

Test it if you have a test LPAR!  Don't blame me if it doesn't work on

your box, but I've been using these for a long time and just got done 
putting them on 15 systems.  Make sure they're SAVE(*NO) or you'll 
relive that hour over and over and over and over.  ;)  Mountain or 
Pacific people, you can modify 3 or 4 to do what you need - I don't 
have any machines in those zones.
