Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When converting from a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) Pool
  environment to the JVM server model, specifying the Timezone
  (TZ) parameter within the JVM profile has no influence on the
  &DATE and &TIME variables when they are used, for example, in
  the naming of the jvmerr (stderr), jvmout (stdout) and jvmtrc
  files.

  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: &DATE and &TIME within the JVM profile  *
  *                      are always in GMT format for a JVM      *
  *                      server.                                 *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  TZ option is set in the JVM profile. There are &DATE and &TIME
  substitutions in the file name of STDOUT/STDERR/JVMTRACE.
  When DFHSJSC parses the JVM profile, it uses gmtime to setup
  &DATE and &TIME substitutions, TZ parameter in the JVM profile
  is not honoured.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHSJSC has been changed to use localtime instead of gmtime to
  setup the &DATE and &TIME substitution strings in the file name
  of STDOUT/STDERR/JVMTRACE.
