Status: Unverified
GOAL:
How can the time shown in Progress be different than the system time on your UNIX system
GOAL:
Ho to get a different TIME in Progress than on the System
FACT(s) (Environment):
UNIX
FIX:
Usually, the resolution to this problem is to change the time zone (TZ) environment variable on UNIX systems to reflect what we expect for the format.
This same problem has occurred when the daylight savings time law was changed to "spring-ahead" at the beginning of April rather than the end April.
For example:
TZ=PST5PDT
instead of:
TZ=US/PACIFIC.
The problem lies within a system library called libc.a.
The code that processes the TZ environment variable is buried inside libc.a. If the convention for how $TZ is used is changed, the libc.a library changes accordingly. When the problem occurs, it indicates the current module is loaded with an older libc.a, therefore it will not work properly if libc.a is changed.
Use PROBUILD to reload _progress on site with the new libc.a file.
