Change from summer- to wintertime

[Arno-Meyer]

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)

or

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

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

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?

[Arno-Meyer]

Yes, this would be the solution.

However, this should be done globally ...

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