It may also appear in the other .cmd files. I didn't check.

I doubt there is an option. The code I looked at contains no option

I don't understand why you feel you need this. Are you really saying you
need a routine that converts the original timestamp to SCOUG's local
timezone?

Does the TZ spec say that or does is say that without the defaults you are
supposed to assume standard values?

This is typically determined dynamically based on the current TZ setting.
It has to be done that way because each process may run under a different
TZ setting.

You could do this. A more efficient solution would be to do the math
locally. Every runtime I know of has logic to convert timestampts to
normalized structures that contain a DST flag. I have access to OREXX
code with this logic. This can be converted to Classic REXX, it's
possible I can track down some existing Classic REXX code.
You might want to check Rexx Tips and Tricks for source code.
