Description:
========
Three letter time zone abbreviations are deprecated in the translate-timezone() method.
Environment:
=========
Version: 5.9.x
Hardware: all
OS: all
Symptoms:
=======
When using the function tib:translate-timezone(<< dateTime >>, << timezone >>), Daylight Saving adjustment works for PST but fails for EST.
Cause:
=====
For compatibility with JDK 1.1.x, some three-letter time zone IDs (such as "PST", "CTT", "AST") are supported. However, this is deprecated because the same abbreviation is often used for multiple time zones (for example, "CST" could be U.S. "Central Standard Time" and "China Standard Time"). The Java platform can only recognize one of them.
Resolution:
=======
Use a format such as "America/New_York" for EST and “America/Los_Angeles" for PST.
