There is a sample there of an SQL function that can use an API
the system has had for at least 10 years.
Re the article positing "companies with locations in multiple time
zones that connect to a central iSeries, time stamp presentation can be
a problem": I would expect a much simpler approach [long since
available] might be to similarly ensure the stored TIMESTAMP
"information [is] in a single base time zone such as Coordinated
Universal Time (UTC)", and then the local presentation is as simple as
ensuring the subtraction of the CURRENT TIMEZONE from the zero-offset
value; though possibly still dependent on the each server-wide time zone
rather than specific to a user\job?
Select (StoredAsUTC_TS - current timezone)
