Re: DST PTF(s) for V5R1?

[Luis Rodriguez <luisro58@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dennis,

Suppose you have a process that begins at, say 01:00am and runs in less
than an hour. If you change your clock back one hour, it could happen that
your process would end before it begins (FTL neutrinos anyone? :-) )

To avoid that, beginning (IIRC) V5R3, the systems "slows down" the clock,
so it just does the 1-hour time adjust in, say, two hours. After that, the
clock starts to run at the normal rate.

Hope this makes sense.
