You are running Control-M in London, but want a job to run only when the New York Stock Exchange is open, between 0900 (9 A.M.) and 1600 (4 P.M.) in New York (US Eastern Standard Time). US Eastern Standard Time is five hours behind London time (GMT-5 hours).
In the Job Definition screen (Screen 2) or the Active Environment Zoom screen (Screen 3.Z) set the TIME FROM parameter to 0900 and the UNTIL parameter to 1600.
The TIMEZONE member defines GMT-5 hours as EST.
Set the TIME ZONE parameter in the same screen to EST. When you press the Enter key, the Control-M interpretation of your specification is also displayed in the format (GMTxhh:mm)
where:
x is + (Plus) or - (Minus)
hh is the hours figure you specified
mm is the minutes figure specified, either 00 or 30
The job will run between 2 P.M. and 9 P.M. at your site in London. These times correspond respectively to 9 A.M. and 4 P.M. in New York, the hours when the New York Stock Exchange is open. In other words, the job runs as if the TIME FROM was set to 1400 and UNTIL to 2100.
Note: In the Job Scheduling Definition screen (Screen 2) and the Active Environment Zoom screen (Screen 3.Z), the times appear as you specified, as 0900 and 1600 respectively. In the Active Environment Why screen (Screen 3.?), the times appear with their converted values of 1400 and 2100 respectively.
