Other than LPAR with different timezones? If you take a dose of brave pills 
you could look at overriding the IBM programs that supply date and time 
information and respond accordingly. Some of the Y2K remediation test tools 
did this. Perhaps they are still available. I think ASC still sell one for 
the purpose of testing day-end/month-end processing without changing the 
system date.
