GMTOFFSET
Purpose
The GMTOFFSET statement specifies the Greenwich Mean Time offset, which is the number of hours and minutes that the time differs from Greenwich Mean Time (also called Coordinated Universal Time, or UTC).
Syntax
The GMTOFFSET statement has the following
syntax:
GMTOFFSET >>-GMTOFFSET--=--shhmm-----------------------------------------><
where:
- s
- Indicates a positive (+) or negative (-) sign. A positive sign indicates that the offset must be added to the local time to produce the Greenwich Mean Time. A negative (-) sign indicates that the offset must be subtracted from the local time to produce the Greenwich Mean Time.
- hh
- Indicates the hours of the Greenwich Mean Time offset.
- mm
- Indicates the minutes of the Greenwich Mean Time offset.
Usage notes
- If you specify an incorrect value for the hh and mm values, message DUI4029 is issued and GMFHS ends.
- The valid range is from -2359 to +2359. If you do not specify GMTOFFSET, the host MVS™ GMT time is used. Use the LISTINIT command to view the host MVS GMT time.
