Hi, Thanks for the response. However when I have taken latest tar and used for TZ= Europe/Istanbul timezone the UTC offstring is +3 for September month and October month. From October 31st onwards it is again considering UTCOffString as +2 instead of UTCOffString as +3 for the year 2016. Can you tell me why? Thanks & Regards, Radhika Peddi|Avaya India Pvt.

as part of this https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_eggert_tz_co... the change is done for Europe/Istanbul time zone. We have one time zone named with Turkey. So what about the changes for this timezone?
Are you setting TZ='Turkey'? If so, you need to run 'zic backward' too, as the 'backward' file creates the link from the updated 'Europe/Istanbul' file to the backwards-compatibility name 'Turkey'. You might also consider setting TZ='Europe/Istanbul' to avoid future problems like this.
