We are at os390 2.10 TSM definitely uses unix system services. I had a pmr at TSM 4.2.2 concerning inability to restore backupsets made under daylight saving time during GMT and vice versa. It turned out that because we not setting the TZ (time zone) environment variable in the TSM started task, TSM was picking up the the default value from unix system services eg. the specification in your USS environment /etc/profile ((see Unix System Services User's Guide, section 4.9) In our case this default value was not allowing for the clock change.
