Re: daylight savings nov 2 (US)

[Jeff Crosby <jlcrosby@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Regarding scheduled jobs (regular WRKJOBSCDE or Advanced Job Scheduler) I
have read on this list various times that jobs scheduled between 2am and
3am will NOT get run twice because the job schedulers use UTC offset or
some such thing.

That being said, I schedule jobs for either 1:59am or 3:01am for my own
peace of mind.  One less thing to think about.  :)
