When I did my "It's About Time..." session at COMMON last week, I said that Indiana adopted it this year, and someone in the audience said "Not all counties".

However you bring up an interesting point in your earlier email about Canada. I too wondered if there were people in certain timezones that were not adopting the modified DST. Indiana finally gets force fed DST and now they want to extend it. This is going to go well. I am sure that if you can pick whether or not to adopt modified DST the courts in Indiana are going to be busy again.

The number of changes that we would ever be allowed to go to is 9, unless they go to alpha suffixes (at which point they should have started at "A" for the correct EBCDIC collating sequence). 2. You will wind up with obsolete time zone objects on your system. Admittedly they are small (8K), but everything you put in the way of SAVSYS slows it down. If the obsolete objects will *NEVER be re-used, then the PTF should have fixed the existing objects, assuming that they match the shipped values. 3. I think that changing the existing objects would have more consistent with the way the system enacts other changes. It appears that IBM is committed to this approach.

I hated them before this craziness, and I hate them even more now. Government nonsense ... My understanding ... 1. We should download and apply this PTF anytime convenient 2. After , and change our time zone to the appropriate "2" time zone (with the new DST definitions) after the first Monday this November and 1-March next year. Do you guys agree?

Downloading and applying... Stay tuned. I have a feeling that this fix makes it necessary to DL and apply, then switch to a new zone. If the gov't decides to switch it back, you'll just pop back to the old time zone setting. The fix is 58k, so an ECS download is fine... I guess I'll have your answer right now. Currently system is on QN0600CST. START = April/Sunday/1st/2:00:00AM END = October/Sunday/Last/2:00:00AM Downloaded, applied. No changes to the QN0600CST. Added the QN0600CST2. QN0600CST2 settings are as follows: START = March/Sunday/2nd/2:00:00AM END = November/Sunday/1st/2:00:00AM So - you have to DL and apply, and then ***AFTER THE FIRST SUNDAY IN NOVEMBER*** switch to one of the new zones. -- Justin C.
