PH61126: DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME IS NOT TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT WHEN USING THE ZZZZ STYLE TIME ZONE FORMATS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Daylight saving time is not taken into account when outputting
  the time zone offset for ZZZZ style time zone formats when the
  built date-time item is the result of the CURRENTDATETIME
  function and related functions. This caused a built UTC offset
  to be the region base UTC offset instead of the daylight saving
  time offset when the system used daylight saving time.
  

Local fix

• ITXCQ - ITX00062456
  GK / GK
  Circumvention: None
  

Problem summary

• Users Affected:
  IBM Transformation Extender users using CURRENTDATETIME and
  related functions on systems whose system time uses daylight
  saving time.
  
  Problem Description:
  Timezone is 1 hour off with day light savings time.
  
  Platforms Affected:
  All
  

Problem conclusion

• Daylight saving time is not taken into account when outputting
  the time zone offset for ZZZZ-style time zone formats when the
  built date-time item is the result of the CURRENTDATETIME
  function and related functions. This caused a built UTC offset
  to be the region base UTC offset instead of the daylight saving
  time offset when the system used daylight saving time. Logic was
  introduced to take daylight saving time into account for
  ZZZZ-style time zone formats when CURRENTDATETIME and related
  functions are used.
