Another sad fact is that when the z/OS FTP server does set the ISPF statistics, it seems to use a simple-minded

ought to exist another SITE option to change that behavior when the receiving z/OS system is known a priori to

You need to inform it about the local time offset with the TZ environment
variable. For example, ENVAR=(('TZ=EST5EDT'),OVR), in SYS1.PARMLIB(CEEOPTxx).
And if I was a sysprog I might do that, but I am not so I cannot.
I _am_ a sysprog and if a developer were to ask me to make such a change in
order to correct ISPF library statistics over FTPs, I would make it happen. As
a follower of this list, I might even remember that the change could make other
system software happier.
