Larry,

The answer is "it depends".

It can be set by the user, and if system values are set correctly,
will adjust for daylight saving time. See system values;

QDATETIME
QHOUR
QLEAPADJ
QMINUTE
QSECOND
QTIME
QTIMZON
QUTCOFFSET

It can be set up as both a client and a server to a SNTP (Simple
Network Time Protocol) service. As a client, it gets it's time from
another server. As a server it gives the time to clients. At my
former shop our IBM i got its time from a server, and served the time
to our networked PCs. I use System i Navigator > Connection > Network
Servers > TCP/IP > SNTP to set up/maintain this process.

Hello all,
       I'm not sure how to answer this question.  Does anyone know how our
systems (I, iSeries, etc) get their time.  I don't remember setting it when
first turning it on.  Does it get the time from the network, and if so,
where?
       Does it ever 'synch' to make sure it is still accurate?

Thanks, Larry
