To answer the question of where to find these rule names, the history of rule names is found in the Zone definition lines of the source. For example, for Asia/Karachi: # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone Asia/Karachi 4:28:12 - LMT 1907 5:30 - IST 1942 Sep 5:30 1:00 IST 1945 Oct 15 5:30 - IST 1951 Sep 30 5:00 - KART 1971 Mar 26 # Karachi Time 5:00 Pakistan PK%sT # Pakistan Time A rule of 1:00 advancement was applied from 1942 Sep until 1945 Oct 15, and the ruleset named "Pakistan" has been applied since 1971 Mar 26. You can then look at the Rule definition lines named "Pakistan" to see that DST has only been applied in 2002, 2008, and 2009: # Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S Rule Pakistan 2002 only - Apr Sun>=2 0:01 1:00 S Rule Pakistan 2002 only - Oct Sun>=2 0:01 0 - Rule Pakistan 2008 only - Jun 1 0:00 1:00 S Rule Pakistan 2008 only - Nov 1 0:00 0 - Rule Pakistan 2009 only - Apr 15 0:00 1:00 S Rule Pakistan 2009 only - Nov 1 0:00 0 - -- Tim Parenti On 1 February 2013 11:41, Osko, Galatea <Galatea.Osko@morganstanley.com>wrote:
Can anyone please advise on where I can find the Rule name history for each country/region?****
** **
The data I'm interested in is as follows:****
- AQ, Oz: I don't know to which area/country this is referring to as it is not listed on tiscali ****
- C-Eur, E-EurAsia - are these valid/active rule names in use? or used parallel? not sure if any of them is a historic name for Europe that's why I'm looking for archived rule names. I believe some of these were used up to some point in the past and then switched to a new name...****
** **
And I also have some other countries like Pakistan, Palestine where I would like to check the DST history.****
