tracker issue : CF-3042405

Problem:

DateConvert() didn’t do the conversions right at DST change boundaries.

For example when user is in pacific time(UTC+8),user does date convert on March 13th 6PM PST to UTC --> it results to March 14th 3AM 

ideally it should be March 14th 2AM


Method:

1) Set you PC to DST time zone(Pacific time zone)
2) Run the CFM:


<cfset Variables.testDate = CreateDateTime(2010, 3, 12, 12, 0, 0)> <!---Use this for USA.--->
<!---<cfset Variables.testDate = CreateDateTime(2010, 3, 26, 12, 0, 0)> <!---Use this for Europe.--->--->

testDate - DateConvert of testDate<br>
<cfloop index="Variables.intLoop" from="1" to="96">
	<cfoutput>#Variables.testDate# - #DateConvert("local2Utc", Variables.testDate)#</cfoutput><br>
	
	<cfif Hour(Variables.testDate) EQ 23>
		<!---This will blow up at the end of months but I don't really care because I only need to test at DST changes and those aren't at end of months.--->
		<cfset Variables.testDate = CreateDateTime(Year(Variables.testDate), Month(Variables.testDate), Day(Variables.testDate) + 1, 0, Minute(Variables.testDate), Second(Variables.testDate))>
	<cfelse>
		<cftry> <!---Need this in case we try to create a date/time that doesn't exist due to the "spring forward."--->
			<cfset Variables.testDate = CreateDateTime(Year(Variables.testDate), Month(Variables.testDate), Day(Variables.testDate), Hour(Variables.testDate) + 1, Minute(Variables.testDate), Second(Variables.testDate))>
			
			<cfcatch>
				<cfset Variables.testDate = CreateDateTime(Year(Variables.testDate), Month(Variables.testDate), Day(Variables.testDate), Hour(Variables.testDate) + 2, Minute(Variables.testDate), Second(Variables.testDate))>
			</cfcatch>
		</cftry>
	</cfif>
</cfloop>
