Re: Weird clock happenings - correction

Is the TZ variable set system-wide?

The SHOWCLKS command indicates it is properly set for the user executing the command.

However, it needs to be set system-wide (presumably with a system logon udc either directly via udc or indirectly via command file) for ALL users to be appropriately affected by it.

I had earlier stated:

You should be able to test this by first running the program without, then with the TZ variable set.

This should read:

You can test this by running the program after first setting the TZ variable appropriately, then running again after setting TZ to " ".

Greetings,

I'm running a COBOL program that prompts for a date in MMDDYY format.

This program is running inside a scheduled job, so we're using MPEX to
supply
the date. The date prompt is answered with
this...{CDATE(DATEADD(TODAY,0,0,1),'MMDDYY')}...

But the date returned is "tomorrow".

I streamed that job this morning, 3/26/07, and the returned date was
032707.

When I run SHOWCLKS.PUBXL.TELESUP, this is what I see...

I can run the application with TODAY-1, but I'd also like to figure out
what's going on.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ernie
