In such a case, the user can submit his batch job from the image
with his preferred time zone; the reader time should be the one
he wishes to see.

(But wouldn't it be even better if there were an option on the
// JOB statement allowing the user to specify the time zone to
be used in computing local time for that job?  I know of systems
with an analogous facility.)
