OP did not state whether GMT is set to UTC or local. I would have thought by now shops would have converted to UTC. I understand that the hit is much bigger for shops located in the Eastern Hemisphere because the change requires shutting down--once--for a prodigious period, but in the Western Hemisphere there should be little or no extended down time.
If OP's shop is already running UTC, then he's dealing with fear and uncertainty in the application community. My standard (flippant) response is that the local apothecary has formulations to soothe the troubled psyche. . . .

That is the fallout of using Local not UT/GMT timestamps. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
