RE: User Profile - Timezone -- MIDRANGE-L

Just curious - is this just to display the correct time on the screen or
do you want to use this adjusted date time to apply to database updates
where there is a date, time or timestamp on the record.

I can see that causing issues if users in different timezones are working
in the same database

Thanks

Subject: Re: User Profile - Timezone

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
