This is definitely a FAQ. Is there a page with tz FAQ? <br><br>Rules define change in the local time. Local time doesn'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 NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S
<br>Rule Salv 1987 1988 - May Sun>=1 0:00 1:00 D<br>Rule Salv 1987 1988 - Sep lastSun 0:00 0 S<br># There are too many San Salvadors elsewhere, so use America/El_Salvador
<br># instead of America/San_Salvador.<br># Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL]<br>Zone America/El_Salvador -5:56:48 - LMT 1921 # San Salvador<br> -6:00 Salv C%sT
<br><br>My question is, what is the applicable Rule for any date after 1988?<br>The last "Salv" Rule ends in 1988, and the Zone states that Salv is<br>the Rule from 1921 on (no UNTIL specified)<br><br>I've done a "man zic" hoping to see something like "If there is no
<br>applicable Rule, just use the basic offset and assume that the LETTER<br>is 'S'", but I could not find anything like that. Is that the correct<br>behavior?<br><br>Thanks<br><br>Bobby<br></blockquote></div>
