This worries me: You have to be careful to make sure the records remain internally consistent. Often there is MORE THAN ONE timestamp in a record. SMF~DTE and SMF~TME represent but one.

Now requirement is to convert monthly collected the SMF Time and sync it before get processed so that we do not compare apple with oranges situation.... Now I could certainly used the ERBCHGMT utility however issue with this I see is with every year we will have to make the JCL Changes and go through the change management cycle ...so instead of this was looking DFSORT where I have parm library mentioned with the Time/date so that with every daylight saving we adjust an hour accordingly without going lot of hassle.. Now I ran the example you gave and used the ERBSCAN to look at the data before and after and see SMFTIME is coming out same , Do we have some way to ensure DFSORT is really converting the time?
