Regarding scheduled jobs (regular WRKJOBSCDE or Advanced Job Scheduler) I
have read on this list various times that jobs scheduled between 2am and
3am will NOT get run twice because the job schedulers use UTC offset or
some such thing.

That being said, I schedule jobs for either 1:59am or 3:01am for my own
peace of mind. One less thing to think about. :)

Jim,

I've been using WRKTIMZON, then select the proper offset.
For US EST - -05:00 > QN0500EST3 EST Eastern Standard Time
No known issues with the time change itelf.

Only known issue I've had is 2. Cleanup tasks.
After the time change, cleanup is off an hour, so clean up must be
ended/restarted.
I discovered this one year, questioned why cleanup was off by 1 hour.

We also try not to have any jobs run across the time change.
Or any scheduled jobs in the job change window, in this case 1-2 am. (job
could run twice)

Any known issues (not expecting any) to having system adjust in the middle
of a backup?
Our prev admin never wanted to have it change in the middle of any job,
but I would like to let the OS handle it. V7R1.
Not currently sync'd to a sntp server.
btw - other parts of the world change UTC offset on a number of different
dates & times.
