The use of 3-letter time zones in time stamps is somewhat discouraged these
days. Instead use +/-hhmm as an offset from UTC/GMT. [1] That allows the
mail client to more reliably show the correct time in the recipients' time
zone.

So, if your MVS system is running as UTC (regardless of geographic location)
just hard code the time offset as "+0000"

Having said that, I believe that if you leave the Date: header out of the
message altogether the first SMTP server will add it for you.

Also, with so much substitution done in the PARM= statement, make sure you
don't exceed the 100 character limit.
