This may get complicated. Are the other CICS region or regions in the same time zone as your site? If so, use the method I provided earlier to get local and GMT time for your site and subtract the GMT time from the local time to get the GMT offset; you can then adjust the received date / time values appropriately. If the other CICS region(s) can be in a different time zone (or zones), then you have the additional issue that a GMT offset calculation for your time zone does you absolutely no good unless you know the relative difference in time zones from the source of the date / time. If you're dealing with a single source and time zone, you can use a fixed difference; if you're dealing with multiple source time zones, your best bet would be to get the date / time values sent to you with GMT offset included such as ISO 8601 format.
