TZOFFSET 0000 not accepted

[mstram]

TZOFFSET 0000 gives :

HHCCF023S Error in hercules.cnf line 7: 0000 is not a valid timezone offset

Either TZOFFSET +0000 or -0000 do work

TZOFFSET 0000 works in Feb 14 sandhawk (Win 32 build)

I think the intention was that the syntax should be +nnnn or -nnnn.
So in my view it is correct that +0000 or -0000 do work and 0000 is not a valid timezone offset.

Then the easy fix is to update the manual :)

0000 GMT time (0000 is the default value). Please note that this is
also the correct setting if
your system time (the time of the operating system on which
Hercules is running) is set to
local time rather than GMT.

Agreed, and done.

0000 GMT time (0000 is the default value).

rather than GMT.

Surely that is true only if you want your TOD clock to be set to local time as well?
