[ale] The world didn't end

[W. Keith Miller]

Here is the proper manual method for V5R3+

Sign in QSECOFR

Unless you create a CL program you'll need to use the prompts for the
following command:

Eastern Times:

QSYS/CRTTIMZON TIMZON(QN0500EST3) OFFSET(-300) STDNAME(*MSG)
DSTNAME(*MSG) STDMSG(CPX091E) DSTMSG(CPX091F) MSGF(QCPFMSG) DSTSTR(*MAR
*SUN 2 0200) DSTEND(*NOV *SUN 1 0200) TEXT('CREATED BY CUSTOMER') AUT(*USE)

If you receive the error message CPF2112 - TIMZON already exists from
the request above, then issue the following command:

QSYS/CHGTIMZON TIMZON(QN0500EST3) OFFSET(-300) STDNAME(*MSG)
DSTNAME(*MSG) STDMSG(CPX091E) DSTMSG(CPX091F) MSGF(QCPFMSG) DSTSTR(*MAR
*SUN 2 0200) DSTEND(*NOV *SUN 1 0200) TEXT('CHANGED BY CUSTOMER')


Using a prompt:

Type QSYS/CRTTIMZON, then function key F4 (PF4)
Enter the information contained in the above listed commands.

After complete enter the following:
QSYS/CHGOBJOWN OBJ(QSYS/QN0500EST3) OBJTYPE(*TIMZON) NEWOWN(QSYS)
CUROWNAUT(*REVOKE)
->Enter

QSYS/CHGSYSVAL SYSVAL(QTIMZON) VALUE(QN0500EST3)
->Enter

Verify that the system is using the timezone object QN0500EST3

QSYS/WRKTIMZON and page down. You should see a ">" pointing to the named
object
