3912.0. "different "Next TDF Change" display Alpha vs. VAX" by CSC32::J_RYER (MCI Mission Critical Support Team) Thu Mar 27 1997 21:03
My customer is trying to reassure himself that DTSS is going to
correctly handle the daylight savings timeshift, so he's been
closely looking at the dtss NCL characteristics on all his systems.
He has a number of Alpha's, as well as a number of VAXes, all
running OSI V6.2 eco 4. They are all set up for Mountain Time
(current -07:00 offset from UTC, will go to -06:00 when daylight
savings time kicks in).
He has noticed that on the Alpha's the Next TDF Change time shows
as 1997-04-06-03:00:00.000-06:00I0.000, while on the VAXes, it shows
as 1997-04-06-01:59:59.999-07:00I0.000. Now, both of these seem to
translate to the same absolute time (2:00 a.m. Mountain Time), but
he wants to know why the Alpha's are displaying the time in a
format that would be more appropriate for either CST or MDT (rather
than MST, which is what the timezone is set to).
I'll forward below complete ncl>sho dtss all and $sho log sys$timezone*
output, both from an Alpha and a VAX.
Thanks in advance for any comments,

| 3912.1 | DTSS is revealing the implementation.... | TWICK::PETTENGILL | mulp | Wed Apr 23 1997 01:24 | 6 |
| The different displayed values are just revealing details of the internal
implementation of the time change logic. Given the complaints and all things
being equal, I'd change the display code to be consistent if I could.
However, I can't.
Save everyone some time; submit an IPMT on this.
