RE: DST PTF(s) for V5R1?

["Jerry C. Adams" <midrange@xxxxxxxx>]

Actually, according to the US Naval Observatory (referenced in the Tech
Document you sent), it's the opposite; i.e., the Central Time Zone's DST's
UTC offset = -5:00, and Standard time is -6:00.  Plus, checked with
Greenwich2000.com; their clock shows 18:12; since it's 12:12 here, that's
-6:00 (of course, I ain't no math wizard, you understand).

In V5R1 it doesn't change automatically since there are no PTFs or QTIMZON
system value.  I guess someone set it when the system was first installed
here and no one (including me) ever thought about it again.

Jerry,

I suppose that your QUTCOFFSET would have to change every time you go
through DST changes? So it would -06:00 during DST and -05:00 when using
Standard time?
