VMS Help CRTL, tzset, Sample TZ Specification *Conan The Librarian |
EST5EDT4,M4.1.0,M10.5.0
This sample TZ specification describes the rule defined in 1987
for the Eastern time zone in the US:
o EST (Eastern Standard Time) is the designation for standard
time, which is 5 hours behind UTC.
o EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) is the designation for summer
time, which is 4 hours behind UTC. EDT starts on the first
Sunday in April and ends on the last Sunday in October.
Because time was not specified in either case, the changes
occur at the default time, which is 2:00 A.M. The start and
end dates did not need to be specified, because they are the
defaults.
