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

What Al Mac said was right.  If you don't have to support too many time 
zones you might consider LPAR but that opens up a host of support issues.

But, I'd keep hammering on IBM with Design Change Requests, or DCR's, to 
get them to fix this.  I was hoping for this kind of support in V5R4. 
There is already a bunch of underlying support built in.  Like RTVJOBA has
CL var for DATFMT 
CL var for DATSEP 
CL var for TIMSEP 
CL var for DATE 
CL var for CYMDDATE 
CL var for DATETIME 
CL var for TIMZON 
CL var for TIMZONABBR
CL var for TIMZONFULL
CL var for TIMOFFSET 
So they don't have much further to go.  They are getting close to flipping 
the switch.  Frankly I think they are so close (and this is pure 
speculation!) why not just ptf it out?  What's left?  CHGJOBD?  SBMJOB? 
CHGUSRPRF?  CHGDEVDSP?  Make the api's etc that retrieve system time 
respect the values in RTVJOBA?
