    Hi there,

    in our AIX we use "Europe/Berlin" in our TZ-variable. But what exactly does that mean? Especially the settings for DST would be usefull.

    Thanks for help,
    Janko

    Hello,
    the TZ=Europe/Berlin does not exist in AIX.

    We use this:
    chtz MEZ-1MST-2,M3.5.0/02:00:00,M10.5.0/03:00:00
    to set the Timezone for Germany, with automatic Timemeasurement in March and October.

    Right, when I use smitty to set the timezone "using system defined values" it writes "Europe/Berlin" into my tz-variable. And I know, that "MEZ-1MST-2,M3.5.0/02:00:00,M10.5.0/03:00:00" would be a good manual setting for the timezone here in germany.

    All I wanted to know was, if I can read somewhere whats "Europe/Berlin" about in this "manual" type like this: MEZ-1MST-2,M3.5.0/02:00:00,M10.5.0/03:00:00

    Especialy the fact if the system would set/unset dst at 2am in march and 3am in october.

    Well it seems you have found the answer to your question and no there isn't a list in some manual to say what settings SMIT will use for any given timezone description because not only is it obvious from the setting and the PF6 option but who would care anyway.

    Oh, I see, you asked, so you obviously care but then you have just admitted you have answered your own questions so everybody should be happy now.
