You can view or change the system values
related to time on the IBM® i operating
system. These system values include Time of day (QTIME), Offset from
UTC (QUTCOFFSET), and Time zone (QTIMZON).
To view these time-related system values
and their associated values, follow these steps:
- From IBM Navigator
for i, expand .
- Right-click on Date and Time and
click Properties.
- On the Time page, determine whether a time
adjustment is in progress.
- If an adjustment is in progress, the Time
of day field will not reflect the adjusted time value
until the adjustment is complete. Continue to Step 4.
- If an adjustment is not in progress, continue to the
next step.
- Verify that the Time of day is correct.
See Updating system time to make the proper time adjustment.
- Verify that the Offset
from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is correct.
If the value is not correct, follow this information:
- If you are using IBM i
Access for Windows or iSeries Access
for Windows V5R3, or later, with IBM i V5R3, or later, verify
the time zone properties.
The offset from UTC is determined
by the time zone being used on the system.
- If you are using iSeries Access
for Windows V5R2, or earlier, with IBM i V5R3, or later, verify
the Time zone (QTIMZON) system value using the character-based interface.
Use the Work with System Values (WRKSYSVAL) command.
- If you are using iSeries Access
for Windows V5R2, or earlier, with OS/400® V5R2, or earlier, change
the Offset from UTC system value to the correct value.
- Click OK to close the Date
and Time system values.
