set date and time on MVS-TK5
Okay, this is probably a stupid question, my I am very, very out of date.
I left the MVS world in the early 1990's and remember that we used to set the date/tome with SYS1.PARMLIB(CLOCKnn).? There is no CLOCKnn member in SYS1.PARMLIB in TK5.? I am in California and it looks to me like the MVS clock is set to GMT or close to that. As I said it has been decade since I did any MVS system programmers type stuff. Can anyone tell me how to set the time/date on TK5?? The SET CLOCK command will only take a two digit year. + |
I believe you can either set the timezone offset in the Hercules config which should have something like:
TZOFFSET +0000 so that the default MVS timezone comes up with your local time, or you can set it inside MVS 3.8 in SYS1.PARMLIB(PARMTZ), which contains x,nn where the x is E or W for east or west of GMT by "nn" hours. TK5 has E,01 in there by default. |
Take a look at SYS1.PARMLIB(PARMTZ). ?That is how I do it. On Fri, 2024-05-03 at 13:00 -0700, mspitz@... wrote:

开云体育Daniel There are a couple of ways – I changed the TIMETZ member of Sys1.parmlib ? The format is E|W followed by a comma, and hours East or West of GMT So – for me here in Maryland – I am W,4 during DST ? You would use W,7 (seven hours West of GMT ) during daylight time – ? Or – someone else stated you can teach Hercules itself to have a time offset ? Regards ? -J- ? Jeff Bassett (301) 424-3362 (office) (240) 388-7148 Cell ?

Thanks to all for the information.? I did change the TIMETZ member and now the time is "correct" at least for me.
Having spent the last 3 decades in the PC/MAC/Linux world, I'm slowly remembering what I need to do in the IBM MVS world. Thanks again for all the help and the amazing people who have created Hercules and the turnkey systems. ?- Mark |
