Re: How to set multi timezone for user in one AS/400 ?

[Al Mac <macwheel99@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I assume you know how to set date timezone for overall AS/400 using 
WRKSYSVAL Date Time values, like many of us did recently for Daylight Savings.

If you have individual users who need to have different timezone that other 
users on same AS/400 partition, you could put into their user profile that 
some program is to run at the time of their signon that will CHGJOB to some 
settings for them other than that of other users on the same system.

Or if you have a standard program that all users run at sign on, you could 
interject a CL that tests for user-identify, and do some things differently 
by user.  This is more commonly used to control what human languages are to 
be in the library list by user, so that many users are accessing same files 
and screens, but not everyone is seeing them in English.

Beware of software that uses SYSTEM data as opposed to SESSION date.  Also, 
once upon a time, session date did not get updated at midnite, so if you 
had sessions left signed on in perpetuity, this caused some date problems 
the next day with their entry.
