I always thought Spring Forward and Fall Back were not the greatest way
to remember which way to move the clock. I mean, I could just as easily
trip and Fall Forward, or Spring Back if I get scared.
Now wasn't there a change to daylight savings time some years ago that
moved things to a totally different week or month? In that case, can I
assume you still made no changes to STP and (I'll guess) it picked up
the new dates from a remote NTP server or similar?

Knew that looked odd. 'Fall back'. Either way no problem.

We've used 'sysplex timer' exclusively to control time zone since the days of
9037 in the mid-90s. It's now STP (Server Time Protocol), no longer an external
gizmo but optional hardware in the CEC.
The 9037's biggest limitation was that it had to be (re)programmed for each
time change, so you could not reach out further than six months. STP has no
such limitation. It's essentially programmed permanently so that it never again
needs fiddling with once a CEC is installed. Our three CECs got through 'spring
back' with no manual intervention. Or IPLs.

Subject: (External):Speaking of time change...
has anyone used the Sysplex timer option to automatically switch time zones?
I was updating the timer on Friday to change the timezone on Sunday AM @ 02:00
and just noticed the option to adjust the time automatically, I didn't do any
research yet but I'm wondering if anyone's use it?
also we set an environmental variable for time zone in the CEE parms, currently
CST6CDT, I updated the parms on my test system to use
ENVAR("TZ=CST+6CDT+5,M3.3.0/2,M11.2.0/2") - does this work as advertised? any
got ya's ?
thanks
Carmen
