Daylight Savings and Your ACUCOBOL-GT® Applications
March 2007
The U.S.
Energy Policy Act of 2005 has changed the rules for Daylight Saving
Time (DST) and these changes will go into effect in the U.S., Canada, and Bermuda
earlier than usual this year. DST will now start on Sunday, March 11 and will
last through Sunday, November 4. As an Acucorp customer, you may be wondering
if these new rules will affect your ACUCOBOL-GT applications. The answer is “no.” In
fact, using the ACCEPT command, your ACUCOBOL-GT application receives select
data (such as time) from the operating environment. So Acucorp’s software
solutions do not do any time calculations. However, to ensure a smooth transition
to DST this year, you should contact your operating system vendor and confirm
they have updated their system with the new rules.
