RE: Service message: Daylight saving time ends

["Jones, John (US)" <John.Jones@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm just over the border into Illinois so I can tell you the dragons
aren't really all that fierce as long as you keep them fed.  The real
problem is finding sacrificial virgins...

For us, the DST change occurs during the middle of our backups so the
only potential gotcha is the object save timestamp.

I wrote a CL years ago that we run every Sunday at 2AM from the IBM job
scheduler.  To ensure it runs it submits to QCTL.  Most Sundays it finds
nothing to do.  But on the last Sunday of October and the first Sunday
of April it makes the appropriate time changes and logs a QSYSOPR
message to that effect.  It also maintains a data area to ensure that
nothing bad will happen if it's run more than once, not on a Sunday,
etc.  Not particularly elegant by any means, but it works.

Not in this part of Indiana.  We don't do DST.  Although there are some 
that think the map west of Indiana simply says "Here be dragons".  These

people think we should do DST so that we can support companies on the
East 
Coast better.  Better to solve it with staggered shifts, flex time, etc.
