Timezone is usually a user preference. In many cases, when a user connects to Citrix, they send along their preference of timezone and the Citrix session then reflects the same timezone as the user's desktop. There aren't any easy ways to pass along the timezone preference across TELNET so we have a preference configuration table (by user) where the users store their current timezone preference in the OE database itself. Maybe SSH has a way to pass the timezone (at the OS level) via an environment variable, I haven't tried that. The way an ABL session (character or otherwise) can pick up on a preference of timezone is by assigning an offset in minutes (via SESSION:TIMEZONE). If that is not set manually (?), then the ABL session gathers a timezone offset from the host OS. Hope this helps to get you started. David BTW, we've had quite a bit of pain getting OpenEdge ABL to support arbitrary client timezones. You should search the KB thoroughly every time you see something unexpected - because there are quite a number of well-known issues. Many are documented but there are other serious issues that are not (eg. community.progress.com/.../76433)
