I concur. The user interface needs to be provided. The
user should be able to code not only
TIME ZONE=LT or:
TIME ZONE=GMT
But alternatively:
TIME ZONE='Australia/Canberra' etc.
where PARMLIB provides the interpretation of LT; in my case,
'America/Denver'
Bill Waite is fond of teaching, "There are three nice numbers:
zero, one, and 'as many as you like'." The two alternatives
of the ZONE parameter are not a nice number.
