On System z, that doesn't change the hardware clock, it's just intended to tell the rest of the system whether the clock is set to UTC or local time. You just need to make sure you have it accurately reflect the real situation. And, you need to make sure your time zone is correctly set for the system. Does "date -R" reflect the correct offset for your time zone?

How do I change the > hour offset? Sounds like a mismatch between what time zone the hardware clock (or z/VM system clock if running on z/VM) is in, and what you told the system about it. Make sure you know what the hardware clock is set to, and then check that /etc/sysconfig/clock reflects that correctly, and that you have /etc/localtime set to the correct time zone.
