In my message flow when I get errors I access the MQMD.PutTime , save the time and send it to the support team as an XML field.
I see that the MQMD.PutDate / Time are in GMT. Is there a way to configure it to reflect it to the current time? |

As messages travel around the world, date time is in GMT for a good reason.
Nothing prevents you from using a tool (java for exemple) to display the information in local date time...
Enjoy

Why is it that so many don't have a clue how to do this?

Most people live in a country with only one time zone.

We in the UK only have one time zone!
And the same for majority of European countries AFAIK
AND we own GMT !!

But we are not on GMT in the UK now, we are on BST (GMT+1)....!
So the ball on the top of the Royal Observatory at Greenwich drops at 1pm local time. |

Granted, but it's still one time zone and it's OUR ball.....

MQ will always use what the machine tells it is UCT (errr...GMT) ... you could lie to the machine about the TZ, but most people wouldn't support that idea...

I certainly wouldn't support it! (And that has nothing to do with ball ownership  )
Changing the TZ setting on the machine would require some serious impact analysis - you'd need to be certain what all the other software on the box was doing regarding timestamps.
It's best IMHO to stick with the original suggestion from fjb_saper - accept that the MQ timestamp is in GMT and convert it to local time before saving. Certainly has the least risk and gives you the most control.
