Rob ... I agree that IBM has improved how the OS handles time changes over the 
years... They use to do nothing, now they allow the system to adjust the system 
clock automatically twice a year. 

However, there is still a big problem with how it is handled when the time 
change moves backward in time. IBM has not given us a process that addresses 
issues involving "time sensitive applications" like MQSeries and some system 
journaling processes. Once they combine "Time Adjustment" and automatic time 
zone change, then we will have a truly integrated and automated process for 
adjusting time on the iSeries...

No Jeff, while there may (or may not) be issues with MQ series, etc, I 
simply think that many of these people are just not getting the fact that 
there HAS been updates to the OS to handle the time change.

I sure hope they aren't expecting IBM to ptf it back to V2R3.
