PM20810: UNABLE TO PASS LANGUAGE ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES TO ATTLS TO CHANGE TIMEZONE OF ATTLS DEBUG MESSAGES.

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• ATTLS debug messages are written to syslogd.  The timestamp in
  the message can't be customized with a TZ variable using the
  environment file coded on the TTLSGroup statement.  Timestamps
  will be in GMT time.
  

Local fix

• Code a CEEOPTS DD card in the TCPIP address space with the TZ
  environment variable set.

  TZ=EST5EDT was defined for several started tasks including
  TCPIP, SYSLOGD, FTPD, and Policy Agent.  ATTLS debug
  messages, however, did not use this timezone specification.
  They were written to syslogd using the default GMT time.
