Curious. No, TSM is not psychic, as far as I know.

Can you post the *complete* output from the following:

1) dsmadmc -id=youradmin -pa=xxxx q ev * *

2) dsmadmc -id=youradmin -pa=xxxx q sch <domain> <schedname>

Specify the domain and schedule name for one of the scheduled events
showing the goofy times.

3) dsmadmc -id=youradmin -pa=xxxx show time

Regards,

Andy

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
