Andy, we have STP setup to provide UTC (GMT) to the lpars/hardware. Them we use the offset in the CLOCK member to set the "local" time for the lpars. We have two CECs running lpars on US central time and lpars running on UK time. I hope this helps.
Our CLOCK member for the US lpars with DST: OPERATOR NOPROMPT TIMEZONE W.05.00.00 STPMODE YES STPZONE NO Our CLOCK member for the UK lpars with DST: OPERATOR NOPROMPT TIMEZONE E.01.00.00 STPMODE YES STPZONE NO Thanks..

STPMODE NO STPZONE NO ETRMODE NO ETRZONE NO TIMEZONE=E.09.00.00 OPERATOR NOPROMPT --------- The Logical partition time offset is used when there is a requirement to run with LOCAL = UTC. In that case the LPAR time offset is set to the local time zone offset (e.g. +9 hours for Japan) and STPZONE NO, TIMEZONE=W.00.00.00 in CLOCKxx. If you are running the z/OS systems with a local time zone offset and you do not wish to use the time zone specified via STP (e.g. as it is set to the US time zone) then you can specify STPZONE NO, TIMEZONE=E.09.00.00 (for Japan) in CLOCKxx.
