Change from summer- to wintertime

Hello!

This could be a good job for the United Nations ....

Harmonizing the change from Summer- to Winter-Time

Germany will change from summer- to wintertime on October 25, 2009.

USA/Canada will will follow on November 01, 2009.

Example:

Now:

17:00h (CET) releates to 11:00h (Eastern time)

17:00h (CET) releates to 08:00h (Pacific time)

for the time period October 25 to November 1 (one week only)

16:00h (CET) releates to 11:00h (Eastern time)

16:00h (CET) releates to 08:00h (Pacific time)

17:00h (CET) releates to 12:00h (Eastern time)

17:00h (CET) releates to 09:00h (Pacific time)

For other countries please check: [http://www.worldtimezone.com/daylight.html|http://www.worldtimezone.com/daylight.html]

Iu2019m sure this will again cause chaos with the meetings we have in this particular week.

Why is it not possible to switch from summer- to winter-time at the same date?

We should brace ourselves for "How to add 1 hour to sy-uzeit for 1 week" type questions in ABAP General...

How about the really creative solutions that add to this mess: http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/egypt-dst-ends-2009.html

Just get rid of the summer-wintertime changes, problem solved :]

Yes, this would be the solution.

However, this should be done globally ...
