A string containing the time zone description.
For the Eastern time zone:
• "EST" for Standard time
• "EDT" for Daylight Saving time
For the Central time zone:
• "CST" for Standard time
• "CDT" for Daylight Saving time
For the Mountain time zone:
• "MST" for Standard time
• "MDT" for Daylight Saving time
For the Pacific time zone:
• "PST" for Standard time
• "PDT" for Daylight Saving time
This string is dynamic, since the module determines Daylight Saving time. The
"%s" allows the module to replace a portion of the string with a string listed in the
DST rules. So to handle the case you specify:
• "E%sT"
Eastern time zone
• "C%sT"
Central time zone
• "M%sT" Mountain time zone
• "P%sT"
Pacific time zone
For description in DTS time rules, you use:
• Standard Description: S
• Daylight Saving Description: D
Then the module will create "EST" or "EDT" (for the Eastern time zone)
depending on whether DTS is in effect or not. The "%s" is a placeholder for a
string specified in the DTS rules section.
A floating point number containing the GTM offset in hours. The common US
offsets are: Eastern = -5, Center = -6, Mountain = -7, Pacific = -8. Location such
as Newfoundland, which runs 3 hours 30 minutes behind GMT would use a GMT
offset of -3.5. This information is used for calculating sunrise and sunset times
and for calculating local time when communicating with an Internet timeserver.
