Hi,
in e.g. Linux there is a way to calculate the timezone for a remote user based
on definitions such as Europe/Berlin, North Amerika/Atlanta and so on.
This is also possible with Java on z/OS. We would like to eliminate the

There is no default data class. Your account can set a default, e.g. if
other criteria are not met, but there is not a default sms data class. If
a data class is not set, then the value would be null.
