I have a CL program available at http://www.ke9nr.org/as400/
Take the link that says "Change time PST to/from PDT"
This is a CL program that will move the time forward or backward depending
on when in the year it is run.  It also adjusts the UTC offset.  The UTC
offsets are hard-coded for the U.S. Pacific timezone and are the only thing
in the program that would need to be changed.

The program will make sure that it does not change the time to cross
midnight, which would throw the system date off, and that it does not change
the hour right when the system is changing the hour.

Of course, the user profile run which the program runs has to have
sufficient authority to change system values.
