Time and TDF after DST advance

[n***@metso.com]

I,m sorry if this has been answered, but is there a place the multinet
where this
TDF-correcting batch can be made to run once and at time-change only?

Background:

I do not run DTSS. I do run Multinet. The time changes
via NTP. The multinet _timezone logical changes without
any action from me.

I submitted Sys$Manager:Utc$Time_Setup.com to correct the
TDF with "/AFTER=03:15". At 3:12 EDT a show time gave 02:12,
but at 3:16 EDT the batch had run and a show time gave 03:16.

That looks like the system knew what time it was, but the show
time command did not.

Can someone explain, pls.

Trying to submit this for fall-back is even dicier, since there are
two 2:00 a.m.s. Setting the differential at 2:00 a.m. EDT
to EST will show *what* during the next hour for show time?

NTP in current versions of MultiNet (5.1 & 5.2) supports setting the VMS
logicals and calling a procedure at the time change. See
set_vms_logicals and call_dst_proc in
