Shouldn't "time sensitive applications" be aware of DST themselves?  Why
is an app issue left to the OS to handle?

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.

I don't understand.  I didn't do squat last spring end the i5 just
handled
it because of the time zone I set in V5R4.

Other than MQ, are a number of you on older releases causing an issue?
