Re: CEEUTCO details

The result of CEEUTCO (get system offset from UTC) is retrieved only once per activation group. It is stored in a static variable and reused whenever the procedure is called.

that's just to make the code more efficient. On my system, this routine may be executed many thousands of times. It doesn't make sense to call the API every single time, since the time zone isn't likely to change.

The only time the UTC offset changes on my system is when daylight savings time starts/ends... and I don't have production apps running at that time.

Okay, thank you for clarifying. I figured that was the case, but I wanted to be sure. I'd like to note that in the heading comments for my procedure. It doesn't matter for my current application, but I want future users of the routine to be aware of this.
