And I agree that for all intents and purposes (conceivably "almost all" in case there's some exception case not coming to mind) z/OS treats UTC the same as GMT. >> The value from STCK is neither GMT nor LOCAL.

I was thinking of TIME, where you can request formatting in LOCAL or UTC/GMT. TIME is one service that treats UTC the same as GMT. >The description of STCKCONV ought to state then It is not up to STCKCONV to describe the architecture of the clock. That is a hardware function. Software books do not tend to try to duplicate what is in the principles of operation. I would expect some discussion of this to accompany the documentation of the functions available for setting the clock. I choose to be honest: we will not make the change in STCKCONV you seem to be thinking of. >ivory tower STCKCONV is the ivory tower function. It was created and defined to be so. TIME is a function for returning information based on the current TOD clock in local or GMT/UTC as requested (although not in the same output format as STCKCONV) Peter Relson z/OS Core Technology Design ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
