When I install a new version of z/OS in Israel I set the time zone in SYS1.PARMLIB(CLOCKxx) and in /etc/profile. I set TZ to IST-2IDT. Some USS based tasks have their own time zone setting which must be updated as well. The time comes from STP which is set to UTC. STP get its time from enterprise NTP servers.
Nothing comes preconfigured.

Alternatively if you have a POSIX-conforming system you can use TZ='EET-2EEST,M4.3.5/0,M10.5.0/0' instead. More relevant to this list, when IBM ships a system outside the USA does it ship with /etc/profile configured for the POSIX time zone for the destination? What assistance does IBM supply? Most desktop and handheld systems come configured with the tzdata utility (see above). POSIX time zone definitions are effectively idiosyncratic, hardly required other than by IBM. Instances are hard to find and ugly. For example, for Tel Aviv: TZ=IST-2IDT,M3.4.4/26,M10.5.0 -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
