Creating Zone Records

The INSERT subcommand under the ZON setting creates zone records. Whenever you insert a new zone record or change an existing record, you must issue the ACFSERVE RELOAD SHIFT command to activate the record. The syntax for this INSERT subcommand is:


INsert { *    }
       { zonename } ADJUST(+hhmm|‑hhmm)
*

Inserts the last shift record processed since you established the SHIFT(ZON) setting.

zonename

Inserts a one‑ to three‑character name.

ADJUST(+hhmm|‑hhmm)

A negative or positive value (in hours and minutes) to be added or subtracted from the processing CPU time. For example, a processing CPU in Chicago might specify the following zones for Eastern time (one hour ahead of Chicago local time) and Pacific time (two hours behind), in this way:

INSERT EST ADJUST(+0100)
INSERT PST ADJUST(‑0200)
