Thank you for reporting back with the solution to your issue.

For future reference, adding a timezone abbreviation to the date format will never affect the output's timezone; it will only cause confusion if the abbreviation does not correspond to the actual timezone in use.

To use UTC, as Ygor demonstrated, you can use the --utc (or -u) option. For UTC or any other timezone, set the TZ environment variable appropriately. This can be done on a per command or login session.

Regards,
Alister

PMMKTIME(3)						     Library Functions Manual						       PMMKTIME(3)

NAME
__pmMktime - convert a tm structure to a calendar time C SYNOPSIS
#include <time.h> #include <pcp/pmapi.h> #include <pcp/impl.h> time_t *__pmMktime(struct tm *timeptr); cc ... -lpcp DESCRIPTION
__pmMktime is very similar to mktime(3), except the timezone used is the current ``reporting timezone'' (rather than the default TZ envi- ronment variable scheme). Like mktime(3) the time to be converted is passed via timeptr, and the function result contains the calendar time (the number of seconds since 00:00:00 UTC, January 1, 1970). The default current reporting timezone is as defined by the TZ environment variable, so __pmMktime and mktime(3) will initially produce similar conversions. Use pmNewZone(3), pmNewContextZone(3) or pmUseZone(3) to establish a new current reporting timezone that will effect __pmMktime but not mktime(3). SEE ALSO
mktime(3), PMAPI(3), pmCtime(3), pmLocaltime(3), pmNewContextZone(3), pmNewZone(3) and pmUseZone(3). Performance Co-Pilot PCP PMMKTIME(3)
