As of IDMS Version 18, the journal and log files both use UTC and no longer use local time. This has been around for a couple of years now. You should find out what release of IDMS they are on and push them to version 18 or later. In fact, I would suggest going to Version 19 at this point.

If true then the IDMS application is broken. There is IMO no valid reason why the audit records are using local time not UTC. So long as it uses UTC the only exposure is if the CPU clock is mis-set to local time not UTC. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
