10.52 How can I set my system’s clock/calendar so I knoW it is correct?

Step 1: RTFMs. See Chapter 10 of the 5.0 Communicator for a discussion of the SHOWCLOCK and SETCLOCK commands. Also, in the MPE/iX HELP system read over the (quite complete) entries for SHOWCLOCK and SETCLOCK.

Step 2: :setclock timezone=zn:00 (your timezone, e.g. w4:00 – this is the way to adjust for Daylight Savings time)

Step 3: :setclock ;cancel (stop the correction)

Step 4: :setclock date=mm/dd/yy;time=hh:mm;now (set correct date and time).

That should do the trick. By the way, if important at your site, the TZ variable can be set via a system logon UDC. The form is: SETVAR TZ "EST5EDT"
