PI78252: CEELOCT MAY RETURN INCORRECT INFORMATION AFTER SET DATE IS USED TO SET A DATE IN THE PAST

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Customer is specifying TIMEZONE E.09.00.00 in their CLOCKxx
  parmlib member and when IPL'ing their system they issue a SET
  DATE command for a date in the past. In the above conditions, if
  the CVTTZ contains a negative value, then code in CEEYGMTO could
  end up incorrectly subtracting an extra day. This may lead to
  the CEELOCT service returning an incorrect date (the time will
  be reported correctly )

  * The Language Environment CEELOCT                             *
  * callable service returns the local                           *

  * initial value by the SET CLOCK command.                      *
  * If that occurs, incorrect values may                         *
