Re: QWCRTVTZ givng wrong data for time zone.

Hi, Rick:

Issue WRKTIMZON and look at those around QN0500EST ... I think "QN0500EST3" is a newer one that has the current DST settings. You can set that as the one "in use" e.g. with option 8 on WRKTIMZON. If you do not have "QN0500EST3" you may indeed be missing some PTFs.

Hope that helps,

Hey all,

We just upgraded to V7R1M0 and the time description API QWCRTVTZ is giving
the wrong data for EST - see below

EVAL tzds
TZDS.ZONE = 'QN0500EST '
TZDS.SYSZONE = '1'
TZDS.SUPDST = '1'
TZDS.UTCOFFSET = -300
TZDS.STDABBR = 'EST '
TZDS.STDFULL = 'Eastern Standard Time
TZDS.DSTABBR = 'EDT '
TZDS.DSTFULL = 'Eastern Daylight Time
TZDS.STDMSGID = 'CPX091E'
TZDS.DSTMSGID = 'CPX091F'
TZDS.MSGFILE = 'QCPFMSG '
TZDS.MSGFLIB = '*LIBL '
TZDS.DSTSTRMON = 04.
TZDS.DSTSTRDOWK = 7
TZDS.DSTSTRRDMO = '1'
TZDS.DSTSTRTIME = 020000.
TZDS.DSTENDMON = 10.
TZDS.DSTENDDOWK = 7.
TZDS.DSTENDRDMO = 'L'
TZDS.DSTENDTIME = 020000.

QN0500EST is Eastern Standard Time, so I know I'm getting the proper zone.

Offset should be -5, not -3.
The DST start month is 3, not 4.
day of week is right at 7, but day of month should be 2 (second sunday)
didn't check for the DST end dates, but I'm guessing they're wrong too.

I double checked my data structure against the V7 api finder and it's
good. I can't guarantee it worked just before our upgrade, but it's not
working now.

Any ideas? thanks in advance.
