Comments
EVALUATION According to 4263805, solaris to java timezone mapping is not fully supported when POSIX "TZ" syntax is used. DST information is dropped. The attached test checks DST information. I modified the file so that DST information is ignored. Once 4263805 is fixed the test should be modified back though. bae-chul.kim@eng 2000-11-15 I disabled the last two test scenario from the test script. They checks solaris-to-java time zone mapping but they are not correct. Please refer 4257314 for details. bae-chul.kim@eng 2000-11-15 Rose.Ng@eng 2001-03-16 Check with Abhijit who confirmed that this bug is no longer an issue and can be closed.
