No, not really... IBM has stated its intention to eventually support
job-level UTC offset, effectively allowing each job on the system to
determine its appropriate time zone, and to apply this job UTC offset on
all date values presented to the user. However, to make this mechanism
work, IBM must change the date storage and management code in the OS to
physically store all date/time/timestamp fields in GMT. Until this date
storage change is in place, we have no way to determine what UTC offsets
were applied to the source date/time.

Subject: Finding GMT time from a timestamp field
Lets just say, for discussion, that there are two records. One has a
time stamp of 8:00 am 11/1/2008 and the other has a time stamp of 10:00
am 7/4/2009. I do not know where on the planet these records were
produced, or on what midrange machine.
Is it possible to know the difference in hours?
(Don't worry about days, that not the issue.)
Thanks.
