Most weird. We have the TOD clock set to GMT (more or less), and the TIMEZONE set to W.06 (US Central). The timestamps in the SMF records at our shop are in LOCAL time (1/100 seconds since local midnight). Back when we had SAS, we used these times directly. We did not do any "offset manipulation" on them at all. If any of the records have STCKE values, then those would need to be manipulated.
