Use Job Scheduler to Change Clock for Daylight Savings

The command to change the hour to 1:00 am on an AS/400 is:

CHGSYSVAL SYSVAL(QHOUR) VALUE('01')

To schedule this command to run at 2:00 am on October 27, use the job scheduler. Key in WRKJOBSCDE

Then, hit F6 to add a new job. Fill in the values as: 

 
 Job name . . . . . . . . . . . . > FALLBACK      Name, *JOBD          
 Command to run . . . . . . . . . > CHGSYSVAL SYSVAL(QHOUR) VALUE('01')
