https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-openvms/daylight-savings-time-changes/m-p/3939360#M11477 Hello and Welcome to ITRC!<BR /><BR />There is no ECO for OpenVMS VAX V7.1. <BR /><BR />I do expect there are TZ changes. I don't know if they will affect your site. (Facts not in evidence and all.)<BR /><BR />HP is not likely releasing an update for V7.1, as it is not a Prior Version Support (PVS) nor a Current Version Support (CVS) release.<BR /><BR />The fastest solid fix is an upgrade to V7.3, where there is an ECO. You'll also get other current ECOs for OpenVMS VAX, and I'd not expect anything to be perturbed by this upgrade.<BR /><BR />For OpenVMS DST in general, start here:<BR /><A href="http://h71000.www7.hp.com/dst.html" target="_blank">http://h71000.www7.hp.com/dst.html</A><BR /><BR />For background and related, read here:<BR /><A href="http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1097157" target="_blank">http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1097157</A><BR /><A href="http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1096296" target="_blank">http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1096296</A><BR /><A href="http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1092084" target="_blank">http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1092084</A><BR /><BR />You can read about the time and timekeeping (and pointers to the ECO area, and the Off By One Hour behavior, PVS and CVS, etc) here:<BR /><A href="http://www.hoffmanlabs.com/vmsfaq/" target="_blank">http://www.hoffmanlabs.com/vmsfaq/</A><BR /><BR />For Java (not applicable to VAX), read here:<BR /><A href="http://h18012.www1.hp.com/java/alpha/DST-US.html" target="_blank">http://h18012.www1.hp.com/java/alpha/DST-US.html</A><BR /><BR />The ECOs for various releases are here:<BR /><A href="ftp://ftp.itrc.hp.com/" target="_blank">ftp://ftp.itrc.hp.com/</A><BR /><BR />If you want to know with some degree of certainty if any of the rule changes will affect your operation, do test it.
