7.3.2.9.1 GLOBAL GMTOFF +/-nn.nn Statement

 
 This statement is optional and lets you define a global time
 offset value for every system.  This default time offset can
 be overridden at the original (ORGSYSID) level by coding a
 GMTOFF orgsysid +/-nn.nn statement.
 
 This statement has the following format:
 
 GLOBAL GMTOFF +/-nn.nn
 
 where:
        +/-  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:
 
 GLOBAL GMTOFF -5    5 hours (18000 seconds) will be
                     subtracted from raw data time values for
                     all systems.
 
 GLOBAL GMTOFF 2.5   2 hours 30 minutes (9000 seconds) will
                     be added to raw data time values for all
                     systems.
