This is definitely a FAQ. Is there a page with tz FAQ? <br><br>Rules define change in the local time. Local time doesn&#39;t ends. :)<br><br>The year 1988 is the last year that there is any change. The last change mentioned - switch to local time + 0:00 in the last Sun of september - defines the time indefinitely.

Hello,<br><br>I have written a timezone library (including a parser) in JavaScript<br>and am running into a bit of confusion with this particular Zone and<br>Rule:<br><br># Rule&nbsp;&nbsp;NAME&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FROM&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TO&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TYPE&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;IN&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ON&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;AT&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SAVE&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LETTER/S
<br>Rule&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Salv&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1987&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1988&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; May&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Sun&gt;=1&nbsp;&nbsp;0:00&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1:00&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D<br>Rule&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Salv&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1987&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1988&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Sep&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; lastSun 0:00&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; S<br># There are too many San Salvadors elsewhere, so use America/El_Salvador
<br># instead of America/San_Salvador.<br># Zone&nbsp;&nbsp;NAME&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;GMTOFF&nbsp;&nbsp;RULES&nbsp;&nbsp; FORMAT&nbsp;&nbsp;[UNTIL]<br>Zone America/El_Salvador -5:56:48 -&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; LMT&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1921&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;# San Salvador<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-6:00&nbsp;&nbsp; Salv&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C%sT
<br><br>My question is, what is the applicable Rule for any date after 1988?<br>The last &quot;Salv&quot; Rule ends in 1988, and the Zone states that Salv is<br>the Rule from 1921 on (no UNTIL specified)<br><br>I&#39;ve done a &quot;man zic&quot; hoping to see something like &quot;If there is no
<br>applicable Rule, just use the basic offset and assume that the LETTER<br>is &#39;S&#39;&quot;, but I could not find anything like that. Is that the correct<br>behavior?<br><br>Thanks<br><br>Bobby<br></blockquote></div>
