47.23. $setStdName

$setStdName tells the runtime system the commonly used (usually abbreviated) name for the local time zone (when standard time is in effect). The value of the local time zone name may be examined by $getStdName or by the MAINEX subcommand STDNAME. 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 $setStdName, $timeSubcommandsSet becomes TRUE.
