Would be nifty indeed to have a code from WRKTIMZON specifiable at the user level in the OS (while the OS runs itself on the UTC baseline or some other baseline).I think it is something to be delegated at the application layer at the moment (i.e. a table when the user is mapped to a preferential timezone code from WRKTIMZON).
You can then convert between the view timestamp and OS timestamp using a utility (leveraging QWCCVTDT api to convert).Especially important if you have a user connecting from different timezones and ibmi handles directly the view part to the user.

Just wondering if there a system way to define a different timezone for a particular user ID or group, in order to track/display the user's local time for activities rather than system's local time. Or is this something I'd have to develop 'manually'?
Thanks
