Progress Time Function under SCO (International)
Under SCO UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2, Open Desktop Release
1.0.0 or SCO UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2 Op Sys version 2.0
the system date/time is incorrect.
Concerning some information from SCO the problem will show in
various ways, e.g. DATE(C) and SYSADMSH(ADM) reports the wrong
time.
This only applies if the system is outside North America!
The reason is that the installation script (/etc/tz) writes
into /etc/TIMEZONE the TZ variable and holds information in
a bad format.
There are two possibilities to get around this problem:
1.) Edit the file /etc/tz and change line 476:
tz=$stname$sthours${dst:+$smnames$smhours,$sdate,$edate}
so that it reads:
tz=$stname$sthours${dst:+$smnames$smhours"'\;'"$sdate,$edate}
^^^^^
Run /etc/tz and set up the timezone as before. Log out and
log in again.
2.) Edit the file /etc/TIMEZONE so that the first comma in the TZ
variable is replaced by a semi-colon:
e.g. TZ=GMT0BST,W13,W44 ; export TZ then it should be
changed into
TZ=GMT0BST\;W13,W44 ; export TZ
