This is indeed LOCAL. SMF doc is not that useful describing LOCAL against
GMT/UTC times.

Try this (from one of my live SMF type 30 extract jobs)
MVC CONTIME,SMF30TME
MVC CONDATE,SMF30DTE
--------------------------
CONVTOD CONVVAL=CONVVAL,
TIMETYPE=DEC,
DATETYPE=YYYYMMDD,
ETODVAL=ETODVAL
CONVVAL DS 0F
CONTIME DC 2F'0'
CONDATE DS F
DC F'0'
ETODVAL DS 2F
and try the OFFSET= keyword for your time. Of course you need to do some
editing to insert '-', ':' and '.'.
