I've been having trouble getting "C" routines to show the correct time on
our system. This is affecting not only routines that I've written myself,
but also third party packages that are written in C. The time shown by
SHOWTIME, SHOWJOB, FINFO, etc., all appear to be showing the correct time,
it is just "C" time that appears to be wrong.
I've been told that all I have to do is set the TZ variable to the proper
time zone, but when I set it to EST5DST (which should be correct and is the
default in any case) I still have the problem.
When I run SHOWCLKS.PUBXL.TELESUP it seems to be showing the correct time
for "MPE System time", but shouldn't the offset be 4 hours during daylight
savings time? The "CTIME function return" is off by one hour although it
seems to be showing the correct offset as defined in the TZTAB.LIB.SYS
table.
:SHOWCLKS.PUBXL.TELESUP

I'm not sure what I need to set on our system to make both the system time
and the C Time display the same value.
Can anybody out there help me?
Thanks in advance
