#### TZDBK Prolog

     Name       : HCPTZDBK
     Description: Time Zone Definition Block
     DSECT      : TZDBK
     Function   : This DSECT maps the definitions of local time
                  zones based on each zone's deviation from the
                  standard time at longitude 0.  This standard
                  time is known as Universal Coordinated Time,
                  abbreviation UTC.  This standard was formerly
                  known as Greenwich Mean Time, abbreviation GMT.
     Located by : PFXSYS -> SYSCM
                  SYSZANCR -> TZABK  (Time Zone Anchor Block)
                  TZATZD -> TZDBK
                  <TZDFWD -> TZDBK, until TZDFWD = 0>
