47.13. $setDSTName

$setDSTName tells the runtime system the commonly used (usually abbreviated) name for the local time zone when Daylight Savings Time is in effect. The value of the local time zone name when DST is in effect may be examined by $getDSTName or by the MAINEX subcommand DSTNAME. MAINSAIL's time-zone-related facilities are described in more detail in Section 24.2 and in the description of MAINEX in Chapter 21 of the MAINSAIL Utilities User's Guide.

After a call to $setDSTName, $timeSubcommandsSet becomes TRUE.
