<div><p>View this topic to learn how to create a time zone.</p>
<div class="section"><p>Using the time management function of iSeries™ Navigator, you can create a time
zone specific to your needs. You can create either a new time
zone or a new time zone based on an existing time zone. The method you choose
depends on the time zone properties that you want to use. If there is an existing
time zone with properties similar to the one you want to create, use the new
based on method.</p>
<p>When the i5/OS™ is installed, the IBM-supplied time
zones are overwritten. All IBM-supplied time zone identifiers begin with the
character Q and the time zone names are retrieved from the QCPFMSGQ message
file. If you create a time zone (new or based on an existing time zone), it
is recommended that the time zone identifier does not begin with the character
Q. By doing this, all time zone identifiers that begin with the character
Q are reserved for IBM<sup>®</sup>.</p>
<p>To create a time zone, complete the following
steps:</p>

<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Time

box. Then, click <span class="uicontrol">Permissions</span> on the General page to
edit the authority of the time zone object.</div>
