7.3.2.7.2 GMTOFF orgsysid +/-nn.nn Statement

This statement is optional and lets you define a time offset
value for a specific system.  The time offset value defined
with this statement affects only the system whose original
sysid value is coded on the statement.  It overrides, for the
system specified, the value specified in the GLOBAL GMTOFF
statement.

Note: It is not necessary to have a GLOBAL GMTOFF statement
coded in order to use the GMTOFF statement.

This statement has the following format:

GMTOFF orgsysid +/-nn.nn

where:

 orgsysid   is the original system identifier (ORGSYSID)
            found in raw data.  It can be up to 4 EBCDIC
            characters and is input from offset 11 in the SMF
            type 120 record.

       +/-  indicates whether the offset value should be
            added to (+) or subtracted from (-) the raw data
            time values.  If not coded, a plus sign (+) is
            assumed.

     nn.nn  is the adjustment time in hours and fractions of
            hours that will be added to, or subtracted from,
            the raw data time values.  The range supported is
            any value from -13.00 through 13.00 hours.  The
            fractional portion is provided to accommodate
            countries with non-hour boundary timezones.

            Note that the fractional part represents
            fractions of an hour, not minutes.  This means
            that .5 equals 30 minutes and .25 equals 15
            minutes.

Examples:

GMTOFF TSO1 -5    5 hours (18000 seconds) will be subtracted
                  from raw data time values for system TSO1.

GMTOFF SYS1 2.5   2 hours 30 minutes (9000 seconds) will be
                  added to raw data time values for system
                  SYS1.
