Closed as program error.
Error description
Custom LogFormat additions using syntax like "%{%z}t" to display the timezone offset in the access log often return garbage data in IHS for Windows. These configurations use the underlying strftime() of the platform. The windows manual for strftime() mentions some limitations with using this field.
Local fix

A new format was added, %{tzoff}t, to return the timezone info expected by %{%z}t The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in IBM HTTP Server fix packs 8.5.5.24 and 9.0.5.16.
