found it,

in /etc/profile there is a execution of a script from CA

agentsworks.profile

 /cai/agent/agentworks.profile that sets many options, one.....

TZ=EST5EDT

Thanks all for all your input

from what I've found so far;

ISHELL starts a shell process in the background to find out the user's TZ setting from /etc/profile and $HOME/.profile. If the TZ setting is found, this value is used when displaying file time stamps. If not found, GMT is assumed. The environment variable BPXWISHTZ can be set to a time zone value to have ISHELL use a local time zone that is different from your TZ setting. BPXWISHTZ must be specified in /etc/profile or in .profile.

my BPXWISHTZ on all systems is set to CST6CDT, this was set years ago and I just kept this value from upgrade to upgrade.

I'm going to change that value to GMT and keep TZ=CST6CDT

I believe you are correct Allan, but I'm not sure where the ISHELL setting are located, I checked ISPF variables, I'm not sure where else to check

Check you ISHELL settings. IIRC, EST5CDT is the setting distributed by IBM.

I'm not sure my replies are being sent.... but this is what I've checked;

I do have a .profile - there's no timezone settings

/etc/profile - has TZ=CST6CDT also

/etc/rc has no timezone (TZ) settings

I am displaying the timezone (TZ) value from the ISHELL ECHO $TZ command
