Powerhouse reporting incorrect date

[Shawn Gordon]

Is your TZ variable set correctly?

do SHOWVAR TZ  for me it shows

TZ = PST8PDT

then do SHOWCLOCK, for me it currently shows

SYSTEM TIME: FRI, JUL  9, 1999,  2:06:08 PM
CURRENT TIME CORRECTION:            0 SECONDS
TIME ZONE:    7 HOURS  0 MINUTES WESTERN HEMISPHERE

Typically your timezone value in showclock is wrong.  Powerhouse gets one
value from the hardware clock for time and date, and one from the software
clock.  I
forget which one is which, but it leaves the possibility of have the date
be wrong when the time is right.

Subject:  Powerhouse reporting incorrect date




We are running Powerhouse V8.19C2 on an HP3000 Mpe/IX
OS 5.5 Patch 6.  Today we found that Powerhouse
(QUIZ, QUICK, etc) is reporting a day ahead of
the actual system date.  We used the following
code:

DEFINE dt NUM*8 = SYSDATE

If the system date is 19990709, it reports 19990710.
We're not sure what is going on.  Can anyone help?

Thanks,
