RE: QWCRTVTZ givng wrong data for time zone.

If you are wondering why IBM chose to implement the offset in minutes, you might want to visit this link. Most people are unaware these time zones exist.

https://www.timeanddate.com/time/time-zones-interesting.html

I would also reiterate a correction to the common misuse that was included in other responses to this thread. The proper term is "Daylight Saving Time", not "Daylight Savings Time". It's kind of like saying the Chicago Bears play in Soldiers Field.

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.
