I want to get the 3-or-so character *name* of the local time zone in Rexx.
What is the most straightforward way?

I get lots of hits that explain how to calculate the local offset from GMT,
but what I need is the name such as 'EST' or 'PDT' (and yes, I know the
limitations thereof, and that they are not necessarily unique, etc., etc.).
I just want to get it. I would prefer not to have a table and calculate it
from the offset.

Environment: Rexx running in an STC under TSO (IRXEXEC).

Thanks,

Charles
