Z/os has to handle arbitrary TIMEZONE values -- and does it well. Keep in mind that there are dozens of world locations that have non-hour timezone offsets (typically 30 min and 15 min). There are even locations which have Daylight Saving Time 30 min ahead of standard time instead of the usual 1 hour. Could be worse, there used to be countries with 12 min offset for timezone, but that ended circa 1986. The net is that z/OS doesn't think that 1 hour 1 minute timezone offset is unusual :)
