Hi Claire, You're right, of course, and not just about ARS.
The server admins (UNIX, Windows, RDBMS, etc.) here are all stretched to the max patching for DST. I'll bet every one of those patches is just a rehash of the prior implementation - which required patching. Given the vagaries of the US Congress and other legislative bodies, I couldn't help thinking when this all started that DST rules are data and ought to be externalized accordingly, not hard-coded. Then the next time someone changes the rules, we'd only need to swap out a data file and restart. Ah well, maybe next time. Or maybe we ought to have filed for a patent on the idea? Peace, Doug Anderson Opinions expressed are necessarily mine, not necessarily those of the Mayo Foundation.

Why can't there be a form much like the Business Holiday forms that tell Remedy when DST starts and ends????? How difficult could that be???? _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org ARSlist:"Where the Answers Are"
