APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a user with a time zone of america/mexico_city tries to
  interrupt an assignment and the server is using UTC time zone
  and has already advance to the next calendar day, error
  "BMXAA2641E - You cannot enter actual labor with future dates
  and times." is encountered.
  
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  APAR IJ07852 preceded this APAR and addressed this same error
  when no user time zone was associated to the user profile. This
  new
  apar covers the issue when there is a time zone associated to
  the user profile.
  
  1. Set the server time zone to UTC.
  2. Set the time zone on the user testing to mexico city, log out
  and back in.
  3. After 8 PM Mexico City time, go to the Assignment Manager,
  select an assignment and a labor, and assign the labor to the
  work order. (You can also use a time zone for the user that is
  even further behind UTC so you do not have to wait until 8 PM to
  see the problem).
  4. Start the assignment
  5. Interrupt the assignment.
  
  Error "BMXAA2641E - You cannot enter actual labor with future
  dates and times." is encountered.
  
  EXPECTED RESULTS:
  That the assignement would have been interrupted without error.
