convert timezone

For the time zone "BRAZIL" in database table TTZZ, a shift of -3 hours from the UTC reference time is entered in database table TTZR. The end of the summer time is defined in database table TTZDV as the second Sunday in March at 02:00, which in the year 2003 is March 9. With these settings in the rules, the two conversions below both result in the same local time of "01:30:00". The first conversion shows that the time is still in the summer time.
