ADDDSTTRANSITION Command (Super-Group
Only)
ADDDSTTRANSITION Command (Super-Group Only)
Use the ADDDSTTRANSITION command to add entries to the daylight savings time
(DST) transition table.
start-date-time
is the beginning of the period where offset is applicable. The format is:
{ month day | day month } year,hour:[:sec] GMT | LST
where month is the first three letters of the name of the month; GMT indicates
Greenwich mean time; and LST indicates local standard time.
stop-date-time
is the end of the period where offset is applicable. The format is:
{ month day | day month } year,hour:[:sec] GMT | LST
where month is the first three letters of the name of the month; GMT indicates
Greenwich mean time; and LST indicates local standard time.
offset
is the difference between standard time and daylight-saving time. Specify offset
as:
[ + | - ] hour: min
The offset must be between -8:59 and +8:59.
Considerations
•
To use the ADDDSTTRANSITION command, you must have a super-group ID
(255,n).
•
The ADDDSTTRANSITION command can be used only in systems for which the
TABLE option of the DAYLIGHT_SAVINGS_TIME clause was specified when
SYSGEN was run to create the current system image.
•
The table of daylight savings time transitions must be initialized with at least one
DST transition that is earlier than the current date and time and with at least two
transitions that are later than the current date and time.
•
All time intervals that do not have explicit nonzero offset transition added are
assumed to have a zero offset. Furthermore, all intervals that have a zero offset
transition do not need to be explicitly added.
•
You can include ADDDSTTRANSITION commands in a command file that is
invoked as an IN file for the initial TACL process in a system.
