RE: DST PTF(s) for V5R1?

I don't recall which release introduced the link to an SNTP server, but you
could whip up a program to change the time for you. Stick it in the job
scheduler to run on Sunday mornings, and have it read a 1 record file
containing the actual dates to increase or decrease QHOUR. Plug in the dates
in January, and you're done for the year.

Subject: DST PTF(s) for V5R1?

I'm pretty sure that this is a futile question, but, hey, nothing ventured.

 

Yesterday afternoon (Sunday, 6 November) I checked our iSeries machine,
which is running V5R1.  The time had not changed.  Since no one works on the
system on weekends, I changed the time manually.  Is there a PTF *still*
available for 5.1 regarding Daylight Savings Time?  Our office admin and I
were trying to remember if anyone had to do anything for DST back in the
Spring, but I'm old and she's blonde, ergo neither of us could recall anyone
doing a manual change.

 

I suspect that I'm stuck with changing the time manually from here on out.
