I'm still digesting my Google search.
See http://www.uark.edu/staff/techserv/doc/ts2011.htm

Is this still correct?

 SYS1.PARMLIB(CLOCK00)
ETRMODE NO
ETRZONE NO
OPERATOR NOPROMPT
TIMEZONE W.06.00.00

The TIMEZONE parameter specifies the GMT offset for this operating system. The
value is specified as four sub-parameters, each separated by periods. The
first is W or E for West or East of the Prime Meridian, of which the USA is
West. The second is a two digit hours offset, which for Central Time is
either 05 or 06 (see below). The third and four sub-parameters are always 00.

If so, Indians and South Australians might not be happy - they timezone
offsets are some hours and 30 minutes, and the 30 minutes can't be expressed.

I don't know about India, but South Australia does have DST.
