Hi,

I've just spent the last few days trying to track down a 'bug' in one of our applications.

The application has a 'Start of Day' process that is executed at 00:05:00 every morning. The routine uses a simple poll until execution time is ready using the SECONDS() function. The routines have been used for at least the last three years without any problems - until now.

I have now traced the problem down to the change to Summertime. Out of the 250 or so installations (All NT 4 Server and Workstations) about 50 machines reported the SECONDS() incorrectlty. All machines are configured with same regional and timesone settings (W.Europe Time).

To be more precise the SECONDS() function appear not to recongnise the change to summer time - indicating 23:05 instead of 00:05. The TIME() and the SYS(5) function.

Has anyone else had similar experiences??

I had wondered why two apparently similar functions are provided by VFP - is this 'feature' by design or a bug??
