Subject:	SCOUG-Help: TZ parameter

Content Type: text/plain

I found an the following IBM AIX Cobol reference;
It shows the default for the 5th parameter as 3600.

There's also this at Warpspeed in Oz:

http://www.warpspeed.com.au/cgi-bin/inf2html.cmd?..%5Chtml%5Cbook%5CIBMVACPP%5CCPPPROG.INF+37

I didn't understand is the -1 (negative, default) value for
the 9th parameter, given the 10 (Oct) as the (default) 8th parameter.
until I learned that you use negative numbers to count backwards
from the last week of the month.

Every day's a learning experience....
