I keep my z9BC's HMC on GMT all the time (I would probably do that even if I was in New Zealand or Australia, regardless of being in the UK). I don't recall it adjusting time last March or last October, but then I probably wasn't paying particular attention anyway.
I don't IPL for time changes any more, I just use a Netview timer event (or even the ops) to issue a SET TIMEZONE=E.01.00 to change to BST in March and a SET RESET to go back to GMT in October. If we have to IPL for some reason, we just manually issue the appropriate command if necessary, but I've almost finished a Netview startup Rexx exec to determine if it should be BST or not and absolve us of that particular chore as well.
