Appendix D Time Zones
This appendix contains a list of commonly used time zones and the TZ
environment variable strings that correspond to these time zones. You
use the TZ strings in the SNMPUDC.NET.SYS file to allow SNMP to adjust to
specific time zones.
In the table below, column 1 contains the time zone name followed by the
Daylight Savings time zone name, if appropriate. Column 2 lists the
geographic locations associated with this time zone. Column 3 contains
the TZ environment variable string for the time zone.

To set the TZ variable to a specific time zone, use the MPE SETVAR
command. For example, if you want to specify the Pacific Time Zone in
the United States, enter the following MPE command:
setvar TZ "PST8PDT"
In the TZ string above, PST represents the time zone abbreviation for
Pacific Standard Time, 8 represents the difference in hours between
Pacific Standard Time and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), and PDT represents
the Daylight Savings time zone abbreviation for Pacific Daylight Time.
