On the last, the date comes out in UTC even though I use a "valid" code of CST. So I think that, at least in z/OS 1.12, the TZ must contain the offset from UTC or it is just used as the "label" in the date command's output. -- Heisenberg may have been here. http://xkcd.com/1770/ Maranatha! <>< John McKown ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
