RE: DST disable timzon feature

Jerry,

I'm a bit confused.  If you at a cum level with V5R3 that can't use the
TIMZON features of the OS then you shouldn't have to turn anything off.

I was under the impression that DST was enabled in base V5R3 and that
you didn't need to be at a certain cum level for it to work.  There are
PTF's needed to ensure that the new DST start and end dates are valid.
At V5R3 you can also create the new time zone yourself.  That was part
of the DST enablement - not only recognizing it but also allowing for it
to be modifiable without OS intervention.

There are some JVM and JDK issues as well.

1.)     Create time zone  (example is Eastern)  

QSYS/CRTTIMZON TIMZON(QN0500EST3) OFFSET(-300) STDNAME(*MSG) 
        DSTNAME(*MSG) STDMSG(CPX091E) DSTMSG(CPX091F) 
        MSGF(QCPFMSG) DSTSTR(*MAR *SUN 2 0200) DSTEND(*NOV *SUN 1 0200)

        TEXT('CREATED BY CUSTOMER') AUT(*USE)


2.)     Edit ownership

QSYS/CHGOBJOWN OBJ(QSYS/QN0500EST3) OBJTYPE(*TIMZON) 
        NEWOWN(QSYS) CUROWNAUT(*REVOKE)

3.)     Set System Value

QSYS/CHGSYSVAL SYSVAL(QTIMZON) VALUE(QN0500EST3)

Subject: DST disable timzon feature

I am working on a V5R3 system that is not current on required cumPTF's 
so we can't use the TIMZON features of the OS.

Therefore we will do it via a piece of CL (below) which is schedule to 
run at 2am on Sunday.

Meanwhile, I need to be sure that the TIMZON feature is turned off.

Anyone know how to do that?

Jerry
