&ZUTIMEZn

A set of system variables that indicate the difference in time between local (operating system) time and the user's time zone.

&ZUTIMEZ, &ZUTIMEZ1, &ZUTIMEZ2, and &ZUTIMEZ3 are system variables that indicate the difference between local time and the user's time zone.

&ZUTIMEZ plus or minus HH.MM

&ZUTIMEZ1 plus or minus HH:MM

&ZUTIMEZ2 plus or minus HHMM

&ZUTIMEZ3 plus or minus nnnnn-an integer being hundredths of a second since midnight

Example: &ZUTIMEZ1

&TIMEDIFF = &ZUTIMEZ1

Each access to &ZUTIMEZ3 causes the system to refetch and synchronize time with the operating system, to format the result to microsecond accuracy. Unless you require this level of accuracy, you should avoid using the &ZUTIMEZ3 option, to reduce unnecessary overheads.
