Okay, I win again. :-) Change "format" to include a decimal place.
BTW, the "before" arg should be 3 instead of 2 because it needs to 
be big enough to include a negative sign.


/* rexx */                                   
numeric digits 10                            
cvt        = c2d(storage(10,4))              
chkbyte    = storage(d2x(cvt + 304),1)       
cvttz      = storage(d2x(cvt + 304),4)       
If bitand(chkbyte,'80'x) = '80'x then ,      
  cvttz    = c2d(cvttz,4)                    
Else cvttz = c2d(cvttz)                      
cvttz      = cvttz * 1.048576 / 3600         
cvttz      = format(cvttz,3,1)               
say 'Local GMT offset is:' cvttz
