does the challenge you set yourself precludes using the oorexx datetime object?
Or, indeed, the humble TIME() built-in function:
say time('o')
displays the offset from GMT in microseconds:
Offset
returns the offset of the local time from UTC in microseconds. The offset value
will be negative for timezones west of the Prime Meridian and positive for
timezones east of Prime Meridian. The local time('F') value can be converted to
UTC by adding the time('O') value.

Maybe there's a problem in OLEObj (or the system calls it uses). It's not
something I've used.
