John,
We are writing to a date/time field in sql server and we had the same thought about time zone, but what doesn't make sense to me, is that it is random and dates on the same record aren't consistently changing by a day.
For Example
record 10 date1(matches),---- date2( off by a day),---- date3(matches),---- date4( matches),----date5(matches)
Record 11 date1( matches),---- date2( matches),---- date3(matches),---- date4(matches),--- date5(matches)
Record 12 date1(matches), -----date2(matches),------ date3(off by day),----date4(matches), ---date5(matches)
So, if it is a time zone issue, why wouldn't it happen across the board.
test(de) *ISO SMODT;
if not %error ;
SODate = %date(SMODT : *ISO);
Else ;
SODate = DefaultDate;
EndIf;
If SODate = DefaultDate ;
JDBC_setDate (stmt: 17: SODate: *ON);
Else ;
JDBC_setDate (stmt: 17: SODate);
EndIf ;
Since I started this email, I changed the fields in the SQL Server table to Date instead of Date/Time.
The same thing is occurring.
Ps. I'm running this middle of the day Easter time zone.
Mike

It may be relevant to say exactly how you're doing this.
Randomly(or so it seems) dates are a day off. For example date on the I is 1994/12/05 and 1994/12/04 on the Sql Server.
I've run it through debug and the date is correct prior to the write operation.
It doesn't happen on every record or on every date field.
Anyone have any thoughts on why this might be happening?
Without hearing more, my completely wild shot in the dark is that at some point, you are converting your data to a field/variable which is some kind of datetime, rather than just a date. Then things like time zone can come into play.
