Nigel,
your first two examples (E-8:00 set in TZ, and NO TZ set) give the same answer - why is that ?
Also your showclks output is a tiny bit different from mine...mine shows current value of TZ : E-8:00, yours :E8:00 no minus sign???
Is there a line I can add to TZTAB file to fix this? Why are there no entries for anywhere but US, Europe and OZ in the file?
tks

Hi John,
Your TZ variable is set as E-8:00 which isn't an official one. Can you check the TZTAB.LIB.SYS file and see if it exists I presume it doesn't.
As this is the case then it'll default to Eastern time which is 4 hours behind GMT and hence the 12 hours behind your system clock.
Try setting your TZ variable to EST-7EDT, or EST-8EDT and running SHOWCLKS.PUBXL.TELESUP again. I've managed to setup and duplicate on one of our servers here.
Following with E-8 set.

Not the TZ is only what is setup with your logon UDC's so you'll need to track down and where this is and change it.
Easy way to set that up if you need to change it is instead of hardcoded into you logon UDC's set it up as a file readable by all
:print tzfile
EST-7EDT
:input tz < tzfile
:showvar tz
TZ = EST-7EDT
Regards,
Nige...

GMT looks correct to me, system time is correct, why is ctime returning a value low by 12 hours ?
