Issue/Introduction

We are considering the summer time and may adopt it in near future. So, I want to know any impacts on the CA products.
If we adopt the summer time, we will change the OS system date/time with the summer time. (We will add the summer time to the time zone.)
 

Are there any impacts on the Easytrieve if the OS system time is changed?
 

Environment

MF, z/OS, IBM, Fuhitsu, MSP, HITACHI, VOS3

Resolution

No.
The Easytrieve gets the date/time by using the IBM TIME macro (SVC 11) which will return the local time. . So, there is no impact if the OS system time is changed. It is that just the gotten date/time are changed based on the system time.
