Hi --gil,
+1 (at least!). It amazes me how different/limited/unintuitive z/OS unix
is - compared to any normal linux or unix.

In contrast, on any of several desktops,
505 $ date; TZ=Europe/Warsaw date
Wed Dec 28 13:46:53 MST 2016
Wed Dec 28 21:46:53 CET 2016
Among the choices?
504 $ ls /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe

Andorra Chisinau Kirov Nicosia Simferopol Vienna
Astrakhan Copenhagen Lisbon Oslo Skopje Vilnius
Athens Dublin Ljubljana Paris Sofia Volgograd

What the hell is wrong with IBM? POSIX is no excuse. The true excuse is IBM
has a captive clientele who can't afford to switch. It's a valid business
decision; only the customers suffer until z/OS meets a well-deserved end.
(But has anyone submitted an RFE to implement the Olson timezone database?
What support would it get?)
