Long text

     Symptom
     As of the summer 2007/2008, the start date and the end date of the DST
     are changed in New Zealand. DST starts on September 30, 2007 at 2
     o'clock a.m. and ends on April 6, 2008 at 3 o'clock a.m.
     The DST starts in New Zealand now on the last Sunday in September and
     ends on the first Sunday in April.

Other terms
DST, daylight saving time

Reason and Prerequisites
None.

Solution

1. In the IMG, call the maintenance dialog for the daylight saving time
rules:

         Call transaction STZBC - "Variable Summer time rules" view (or call
         the IMG activity "General Settings" -> "Time zones" -> "Maintain
         Time Zones")

2. Create a new entry with the following data:

- DST rule: NEWZEA

- Valid from: 2007

- Start Mon.: 9 (September)

- Start Day: 1 (Sunday)

- Strt DayMo.: 5 (last occurrence of that particular weekday in
the month)

- Start Time: 02:00:00

- End Month: 4 (April)

- End Day: 1 (Sunday)
Page 2

- End Day/Mo.: 1 (1. (first occurrence of that particular
weekday in the month)

- End Time: 03:00:00

These changes are available in the attachment to Note 198411 as of
Version TZ_2007_V04.

     Note that you should not delete old entries in the daylight saving time
     rules (for example, entries valid as of 1990), because these entries
     will still be required for the correct conversion of data prior to 2007.
