Don't forget to also modify your SETCLOCK criteria when traversing to
and from DST according to the new DST rules to come into effect next
year.
For most applications, correct setting of the TIMEZONE at the
appropriate date is arguably more important than a correct TZTAB file
- although correct instances of both are best.
I've taken the liberty to include a sample job stream file from Dave
Powell - from 3000L Aug. 8, 2005 - that is suitable for the DST
algorithm.
I leave it to the reader to simplify this job stream to eliminate
checking the year, since this check is now superflous.
The example following is suitable for the Pacific timezone.
Adjust accordingly for your own timezone.
