Display GMT on Command Entry

This is a stand-alone program that displays the current local time and the GMT time. In addition it shows you the UTC Offset.

NOTE: If you CEEUTCO is returning the incorrect UTC Offset or your Apache Log file is recording the wrong offset, read this article on how to fix this problem on your system.

To compile this program, you'll need to have the free RPG Open service program installed on your system or an equivalent service program that includes a JOBLOG subprocedure. RPG xTools is one, as is the code that comes with RPG TnT book.
