Re: ALERT - Potentially Serious Problem with DST Patches for New Timezones

Brandon,

Do you know whether utltzuv2 incorrectly reported the presence/absence of data because of this error? In other words, if I am in 1 of the new timezones and the output of the script showed no data is it possible that there really is data? Is there a note on metalink detailing this problem?

Thanks.
Joe
