I use a Web Service call to '
http://worldtimeapi.org/api/timezone/America/Chicago'.
This returns all sorts of data including if DST is in effect.
Very small pgm if you would like it.

Subject: Daylight saving time - how to know if in effect
We integrate with a system that stores timestamps in GMT time and when we retrieve data we adjust the date by the offset for the area.
So when the IBMi adjusts the time for daylight saving this is throwing our adjustment off by one hour.
What I am wondering is there any system value or similar that is set to indicate the system is now in daylight saving time ?
What I am looking for is a program option to determine if daylight saving is currently in effect.
We are on V7R3
Thanks
Don Brown
