As the intention is that the ¡°E¡± disk is for user mods you can use what you like for ¡°nnn¡± and ¡°xxx¡± and you only need a memo in case you forget.
Depending on which CE you are using HELP UPDATE or FSHELP UPDATE should get help on the statements.
I think your commands are right, I couldn¡¯t sleep, so it¡¯s the middle of the night.
Me, too.? I want to have the correct Central Time (CDT and CST).

Thank you.

Hello All, I too, like Jay Maynard, am trying to specify the correct time zone for my location.? I know that DMKSYS is where it's specified, and I know that I want to change? 'SYSTIME ZONE=0,LOC=WEST,ID=GMT' to 'SYSTIME ZONE=5,LOC=WEST,ID=EDT'.? I also know the sequence number is 00220000.
In my past life, I would simply edit DMKSYS ASSEMBLE and be on my way.? Now that I know that's the wrong way to do it, I don't quite know the right way using the E-disk for local mods.
I see that MAINT MEMO B says to use VMSETUP CP to establish the search order.? OK, next I see that DMKLCL CNTRL E identifies where the local changes are (by way of filetype I presume).? ?DMKSYS AUXLCL E should contain an entry like 'LCLnnnDK xxx Change SYSTIME macro to reflect local time zone and ID'.? I don't know what values are supposed to be used for nnn and xxx.? What is the significance of DK? It also appears I need to create a file named 'LCLnnnDK MEMO E' which contains a lengthier description of the modification.? Finally, I assume another file is to be created named 'DMKSYS LCLnnnDK E' that contains: ,/ R 00220000 $ 00220000 1? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?mm/dd/yy? hh:mm:ss ? ? ? ? ?SYSTIME ZONE=5,LOC=WEST,ID=EDT? ? ? ? ?LCLnnnDK
I'm guessing on the replace statement, I'm sure there's an IBM manual that describes how to code these update statements.? After all is done I simply
VMFASM DMKSYS DMKLCL
CP SPOOL PUN *
CP SPOOL PRT *
VMFLOAD CPLOAD DMKLCL
ORDER READER nnnn (for IPL deck)
IPL 00C CLEAR
CLOSE RDR
ORDER RDR nnnn (for print file)
READCARD CPLOAD MAP?
LOGOFF
Re-IPL.
So, that's where I am.? I hope somebody can correct my assumptions and put me on the path to righteousness. (LOL)
PS - Can I have two SYSTIME statements, one for EST and one for EDT?? Is the alternative to rebuild CP each time change?
