Why, indeed.  We found that when we applied APAR PN49292 against the C/370
runtime library, this set the default time zone offset from GMT to zero,
and our ADSM schedules broke in a manner similar to what you described.
I have been assured by IBM that this is fixed by PN70857, and that we
should not have to apply a usermod (i.e. EDCLLOCL) just to pick up the
correct local time that the rest of the system is using.  I have not
applied this maintenance myself & so cannot verify; we are in the midst
of upgrading all our MVS software including the C language products &
hope to fix the problem via the upgrade.  In the meantime we have made
do (unhappily) with adjusting our ADSM schedules to GMT.

Good luck,
