                         Time zone look up feature:

This  program now has a feature to lookup and display the time zone of your 
client record.  It bases its logic on the area code you enter. 

The time zones for all phone numbers in the U.S.A. or Canada are calculated 
and displayed.  Internally, the program maintains this time zone phrasing:


Time          Definition of time zone:
Zone:

PST     =    Pacific Standard Time
MST     =    Mountain Standard Time
CST     =    Central Standard Time
EST     =    Eastern Standard Time
AST     =    Atlantic Standard Time
WATS    =    Wide Area Telephone Service 
              [800 Service]                                                       
Hawaii  =    Area code 808
Alaska  =    Area code 907
Other   =    Area code 809
              [Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Bahamas, Barbados, 
                 and the Caribbean Islands.]
                                                                           
In  those  cases where one area code contains two time zones,  the  program 
will display it accordingly, such as:

This information is displayed in five locations:

                            Client Get screen

                  Greeting screen, prior entering program


The  initial Greeting screen,  for example,  would display this information 
while in the test data, with the system date set to 1-3-86:

Another  example of how the program will display this data can be  observed 
in this screen fragment from the Callback Data Sheet, found in the Callback 
section of the Activity menu:

                          AM/PM Conventions used:

On  those  activity records where you enter a callback date and  time,  the 
program uses this generally accepted convention in performing its  indexing 
and searching:


Definition of AM:
         
                      Midnight

Hour [12 hour clock]   12:00  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10 11 

Hour [24 hour clock]   00:00  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10 11 




Definition of PM:
                       Noon:
                 
Hour [12 hour clock]   12:00  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10 11 

Hour [24 hour clock]   12:00  13 14 15 16 17 18 18 20 21 22 23



If,  for example, you wish to establish a callback time of 15 minutes after 
midnight, you would enter this time:

                                 12:15  AM


Intuitively,  one  might  think  to enter "00:15",  though  this  would  be 
incorrect.

Another  example  would  be  in  the instance where you  wish  to  make  an 
appointment at 30 minutes after a noon lunch.  You would then enter:

                                 12:30 PM



As you create activities, you enter the callback times, if any, in an AM/PM 
form.   By  default,  all reports will then be printed out in this  format.  
If, however, you want the reports to display the callback time in a 24 hour 
format, then go to this menu:

                           Other Custom Options:


                               ==============
                               |  OPTION C: |
                               ==============

                          "C)  AM/PM conversion"
