Changing the TIMEZONE in the system config only comes into play at IPL time. System looks at the dates specified and used them to determine the timezone to use. Check the dates if you are IPLing and not seeing a change. If you want to change what is currently being used, use the SET TIMEZONE PDT

We are on the US east coast and use EDT/EST for all out VM systems. I have always lived and worked in the same time zone that the systems have had. Are there any strange things to watch out for as far as support is concerned if we have system that runs with GMT as the time zone? Thanks.

Not really. We have systems located in several timezones that run with the timezone set to GMT. It helps when trying to correlate events at the different centers. And it means never having to jump through hoops for daylight savings time. You do have to get used to seeing timestamps that do

When you SENDFILE a CMS file to another VM system, the timestamp of the file is converted to GMT time, at the receiving system the local timezone offset is used to calculate the local time that is used by the CMS file system. So, if one system hasn't the GMT offsets coded as expected
