Error description

• This APAR addresses the update of the Microsoft Visual Studio
  .Net C++ runtime libraries distributed with DB2 to implement
  the DST changes affecting the use of the TZ environment variable
  in Windows.
  
  At the end of February and beginning of March 2007, Microsoft
  announced a series of hotfixes available in response to an issue
  on the Windows operating system in which incorrect dates can be
  received by windows applications that make use of the TZ
  environment variable.  While these hotfixes may be applied
  manually on affected workstations, the base copies of
  these specific libraries which are bundled with DB2 will be
  udated in a future FixPak release.
  
  NOTE: If your Windows workstation does not use the TZ
  environment variable, these hotfixes are not required.
  
  Note also that DB2 does not ship its own copy of the Microsoft
  C-Runtime library, MSVCRT.DLL.  Instead, portions of DB2 use the
  MSVCRT.DLL
  from the default location of C:\Windows\System32.  As such, if
  your Windows workstation does use the TZ environment
  variable, one will need to manually install the hotfix for
  the Microsoft C-Runtime library KB932590, even if the fix for
  this APAR has been applied.
  

Local fix

• To update Windows' msvcrt.dll you would need to download and
  apply KB932590 separately.
  
  This APAR will update the Microsoft Visual Studio C-Runtime
  libraries (MSVCR70.DLL, MSVCR71.DLL)
  that reside under SQLLIB\BIN up to the versions found in these
  DST hotfixes:
  VC 7.0     - KB932305
  VC 7.1     - KB932299
