<h1 class="topictitle1">Set the time zone before upgrading</h1>
<div><p>Use this method if you have a previous release of i5/OS™ installed
and are upgrading to i5/OS V5R3 or later. This is the preferred method,
if you have a previous release already installed, because your time zone will
be set correctly as soon as you upgrade.</p>
<div class="section"><p>If you are upgrading from a previous release of i5/OS to i5/OS V5R3
or later, it is recommended that you set up your time zone before you upgrade
to the new release. This ensures that your system time is set properly as
soon as the upgrade is complete. To set the time zone before upgrading, you
must have a supported release for the i5/OS software upgrade.</p>
<p>To define
the time zone object for the system before an i5/OS software upgrade, create a data area
named QWCTIMZON in the system (QSYS) library. When you perform an initial
program load (IPL), the server uses this object when attempting to determine
the default value for the time zone (QTIMZON) system value. For more information
about how the system determines the time zone to use when upgrading to a new
release of the i5/OS system,
see Initial time zone setting.</p>
<p>To create the data area for the time
zone, complete the following steps:</p>
</div>
<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>Sign on to your i5/OS server using a 5250 emulator session.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Type the following command and press F4:</span> <pre>CRTDTAARA</pre>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Specify QWCTIMZON for the name of the Data Area (DTAARA).</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Specify QSYS for the library of the Data Area (DTAARA).</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Specify *CHAR for the Type parameter.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Press Enter.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Specify 16 for the Length parameter.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>For the Initial Value, use the following format:</span>
