You have a common setup problem here. You have changed the time when DST hit, instead of the timezone. The best way to handle this is to set the timezone value, and then correct the clock afterward. Since you have no timezone set, it will probably take about 4 hours to finish correcting, you may want to do it this weekend. Basically two steps; SETCLOCK TIMEZONE=E4:00 After this finishes you need to do SETCLOCK DATE=MM/DD/YY;TIME=HH:MM;GRADUAL/NOW Have fun ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: CLOCK, TIME, & TZ Author: [log in to unmask] at Internet-Mail Date: 4/6/98 7:08 PM After the recent daylight savings time change, and the ensuing discussion about SETCLOCK and TimeZone variable, I'm just a little confused (nothing new there!). So, can anyone give me the "big picture" about how SETCLOCK, the TZ variable, and SHOWTIME fit together? For instance, here is a display from my system: :SHOWCLOCK SYSTEM TIME: MON, APR 6, 1998, 10:02:26 PM CURRENT TIME CORRECTION: 0 SECONDS TIME ZONE: 4 HOURS 0 MINUTES WESTERN HEMISPHERE :SHOWVAR TZ TZ = EST5EDT :SHOWTIME MON, APR 6, 1998, 10:02 PM Now what does this mean? Specifically, are the clock settings correct for my system? (The system is located in Ohio, which is in the Eastern Time Zone of the continental United States). Thanks in advance for the help I know I'll receive. Jim Phillips Manager of Information Systems Voice: (915) 860-9933 Therm-O-Link of Texas, Inc.
