DLS vs. Standard Time (LD 2?)

[McGruff753]

We have an Option 11 on Version 14.11 Release 21. Is there a setting for automatic change of time for daylight savings and standard time? I thought it would be in LD 2, but I can only see how I manually change the time. Thanks.

McGruff..
Meridian 1 systems operating on software release 20 or later can be programmed to automatically change between summer time and winter time.
You can check, using overlay LD 2, to see if your system is using this feature.
Log in and access overlay LD 2.
At the . prompt type
TDST

If it says SDST ON no further programming is required.
If you get the following it means the feature is turned off.
.TDST
SDST OFF
FWTM 0 0 (AT 00:00 0/0/2002 )
BWTM 0 0 (AT 00:00 0/0/2002 )
.

Follow this programming sequence to activate it.

Type in the following.
.FWTM 3 5 1 2
.BWTM 10 5 1 2

To activate the feature type
.SDST ON
The following will be printed.

FWTM MAR L SUN 2 (AT 02:00 31/3/2002 )
BWTM OCT L SUN 2 (AT 02:00 27/10/2002 )

To exit from overlay LD 2 type four stars
try that

.SDST ON
FWTM MAR L SUN 2 (AT 02:00 30/3/2003 )
BWTM OCT L SUN 2 (AT 02:00 26/10/2003 )

Thank you so much. That worked. Is the system smart enough when next year rolls around that it will look for the new dates? Or do I need to do something else after these dates run?

that will work ok... but do be aware when the clocks change to go and check Colin

 

[McGruff753]

Just a tip. The time change is actually on 4/6 so I modified FWTM to 4 1 1 2

.SDST OFF
.TDST
SDST OFF
FWTM MAR L SUN 2 (AT 02:00 30/3/2003 )
BWTM OCT L SUN 2 (AT 02:00 26/10/2003 )
.
TIM000 08:45 10/1/2003 CPU 0

DTC103 FWTM 4 1 1 2
.SDST ON
FWTM APR 1 SUN 2 (AT 02:00 6/4/2003 )
BWTM OCT L SUN 2 (AT 02:00 26/10/2003 )
