Description
Description: Three letter time zone abbreviations are deprecated in the translate-timezone() method. Symptoms: When using the function tib:translate-timezone(<< dateTime >>,
<< timezone >>), Daylight Saving adjustment works for PST
but fails to take effect for EST. Cause: For compatibility with JDK 1.1.x, some other 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.
Issue/Introduction
Three letter time zone abbreviations are deprecated in the translate-timezone() method.
Resolution
Use a format such as "America/New_York" for EST and “America/Los_Angeles" for PST, etc.
