Workspace IBM HourGlass for z/OS

Add Hourglass support for offset dates that survive across IPLs

Please add support for relative date offset that survives an IPL and is requested by using an relative offset start date.
Could look like Oxddmmyyyyy where x=P or M and ddmmyyyyy dd is the number of days to offset relative to current date. I suggest that the difference between the required offset date and the current date is stored as the TOD difference which can then be added or subtracted to every future clock call very easily and, as it is an offset, will not need any special processing at midnight or for a z/OS IPL or Hourglass reset.

    Based on our current plans and priorities it is not likely that this will be implemented in the next 12 months and so it is being declined at this point. The requirement will be kept in the RFE system and might be reassessed in the future. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then.
