Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows
Progress/OpenEdge Versions
SYMPTOM(s):
Windows DST OS patch installed.
Java installed correctly.
Novell Client installed on the machine.
DISPLAY STRING(TIME,"hh:mm:ss"). Displays one hour behind the system time.
TIME command at the command prompt displays correct time.
If you move the date forward to the original DST date (1st Sun of April) Then Progress will display the time correctly.
If you move the date forward to the original change back date (Last Sunday of October) Then Progress will display the wrong time again (One hour behind) If you go further to the new change date (1st Sunday of November) Then it will display the correct time again.
CAUSE:
In this case the customer had an environment variable being set by the Novel Login Script ( SET TZ="EST5EDT" )
FIX:
Do not set the TZ variable.
