Here is something confusing me for several years: The publication https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.3.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r3.bpxa400/dtcutz.htm states TZ should be set at your /etc/csh.login, but I will add your suggestion (/etc/rc) to my list of locations requiring modification whenever TZ's startdate/enddate are to be adjusted, just to be on the safer side.
Thank You and all contributors of insights into this issue.
