allow job time dependency to be set relative to job stream input arrival to fix timezone DST issue

Allow job time dependencies to be set relative to the job stream input arrival time rather than from the Plan start time as it is currently. This is important for scheduling where the time zone of the workstation has different Daylight Savings time days than the master and the job dependency is within the time that moves from the beginning of the day to the end of the day depending on the DST alignment. The job stream can be scheduled for a time that does not move from beginning to the end of the Plan and a job could have a dependency after that time such that it would always run on the correct day, such as the example below that should always run 3 AM in the early morning of the first day of the month.

For instance it could be implemented in the Scheduling language as:

SCHEDULE SERVER#JOBSTREAM TIMEZONE America/Mexico_City
ON RUNCYCLE RC1 "FREQ=MONTHLY;INTERVAL=1;BYMONTHDAY=-1"
AT 2300
CARRYFORWARD
:
SERVER#JOB
AT 0300 AFTER_IA
END

    The requirement is valid but not high priority for next year, so for now we close it. Please re-open if you still have this need.
