Ouch! Ouch! If the vendor derives UTC from local time, he's probably Microsoft. Fire him! For reasons well discussed earlier in this thread, conversion from local to UTC is unreliable. Rather the basis should be UTC and local tim derived from that.
Here, IBM wisely chose to run the TOD clock on UTC (give-or-take CVTLSO) and derive GMT and LOCAL in the TIME macro from that. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
