IBM blundered in not providing a more useful default behavior when TZ is unset
Most UNIX-like systems allow an administrator to supply a default in that case,
more useful than z/OS's inflexible default of GMT. IBM has justified that
choice
as providing compatibility with AIX.
z/OS then compounded the offense by providing multiple inconsistent ways in
which developers set TZ (Conway's Law).
There should be a single point of control for time offset interactive shells,
servers,
and, yes, TSO and batch. Anything less invites inconsistency. And,for best
results:
