Unfortunately the sysplex timer only support 1 offset.   While my client's 
biggest
sysplex runs with pacific time, we have other sysplexes running central time
and some monoplex LPARs running Eastern.  

So while we use the sysplex timer in those environments, we run with
STPZONE NO (formerly ETRZONE) in those environments and get the offset 
from TIMEZONE in CLOCKxx.
