Re: User Profile - Timezone

Right. What Shane could do is what I thought then. Create a table with
the TZ of the users of interest. Only at every application level, show
dates and times using the TZ as an offset from the current system
timestamp. But if any logs, use that value. For system logs, the
timetamps will be the system's not the user's TZ timestamp.

Hard? Yes! Very hard!
But at the system level, true, not possible, does not exist. Maybe IBM one
day could do that for all of us :-D
I doubt they ever find a reason to do it. Probably when IA comes deeply
into play within the OS.

JS.

That will work if all the programs called by the user use job date. If
they use system date ( the vast majority of them) the you might wind up
with a situation where it is difficult to unwind things. Consider the
order entry process. Order in one time zone, pick/pack in another, then
ship in a third. Will the system be OK sure, but trying to figure the
out, how could an item ship before it’s ordered?

That’s the issue.

Patrick, do you think this could work?
Write a CL program to be the one that the signon calls (if it is on the

GS

of course), and then issue a CHGJOB DATE(DATE_VALUE).

I remember once I was required to do this, but then it took very low
priority and I did not complete it.

Perfect! I was thinking aloud, I never tried it but since I always see
this, once I was wondering whether this could automatically do that and
manage the user's timezone :-D
Thanks!

There is a parameter in a USRPRF "Country or region identifier". I

have never tried this out, but you can start testing. Maybe this works!

As far as I'm aware, this is for country specific formatting of

time/date

formats.

:wq! PoC
