TZONE Keyword—Physical Time Zone

Valid on z/OS and z/VM.

Use the TZONE keyword to specify an ACID's physical time zone in relation to the CPU's time zone. This forces all date and time rules to be based on the ACID's local date and time, not on the CPU's date and time.

This keyword has the following format:

TSS ADDTO(acid) TZONE([‑]nn)

nn

From -12 to +12.

This keyword is used with:

• The commands CREATE, REPLACE, ADDTO, and REMOVE
• ACID(MAINTAIN) authority

Examples: TZONE keyword

In this example, the CPU resides in New York and the user ZAP99 resides in San Diego. To ensure that all date and time checking is based on ZAP99's Pacific Coast Time zone and not the CPU's Eastern Standard Time, enter:

TSS ADDTO(ZAP99)TZONE(‑3)

This example lets the user's timezone revert to the CPU's timezone:

TSS REMOVE(ZAP99)TZONE(0)
