Thanks Tom, I have given zdump a try and it very interesting the result i get back and it could be very handy.
However the real problem that I am having is that I am developing a web application which interfaces with a 3rd party java application via common OE database and JDBC.
I need to set datetime and timezoneregions (i.e. Pacific/Auckland) to be the same as what the java application is expecting.
Has far as I know 3rd party Java application is using the common library of functions inbuilt into Java as listed here.

TimeZone[/SIZE]
getTimeZone(
String ID)
Gets the TimeZone for the given ID. [SIZE=-1] boolean[/SIZE]
hasSameRules(
TimeZone other)
Returns true if this zone has the same rule and offset as another zone. [SIZE=-1] abstract boolean[/SIZE]
inDaylightTime(
Date date)
Queries if the given date is in daylight savings time in this time zone. [SIZE=-1] static void[/SIZE]
setDefault(
TimeZone zone)
Sets the TimeZone that is returned by the getDefault method. [SIZE=-1] void[/SIZE]
setID(
String ID)

Now is it possible to call the same classes/functions/methods from within the ABL?
As I will be doing many iterations I am trying to shell out named pipes.
James.
