FYI, I found fn:current-DateTime is using the correct timezone on windows --- Windows: correct echo <[ fn:current-dateTime() ]> 2010-03-18T08:25:39.087-04:00 $ date Thu Mar 18 08:25:42 EDT 2010 ---- Linux - Incorrect But the incorrect timezone and time on Linux $ echo <[ fn:current-dateTime() ]> 2010-03-18T07:26:56.691-05:00 $ date Thu Mar 18 08:27:19 EDT 2010

Saxon is dependent on the Java VM for timezone information. Are you sure your Java VM is up to date? What output do you get from this, which is simply a way of calling GregorianCalendar.new(), on both your machines?: java net.sf.saxon.Query -qs:"" (Sorry, if you haven't got a version that runs extension functions, you'll have to do write/compile the Java code directly)

Thanks! You are right, there is something wrong with Java time on my linux but not my windows system. This link seems to find this bug as well http://www.minaret.biz/tips/timezone.html For completeness, this java program: class TimeTest { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println( (new java.util.Date()).toString() ); System.out.println( (new java.util.GregorianCalendar()).toString() ); System.out.println( (java.util.TimeZone.getDefault()).getDSTSavings() ); } } ------ Windows Thu Mar 18 13:28:20 EDT 2010 java.util.GregorianCalendar[time=1268933300642,areFieldsSet=true,areAllFieldsSet =true,lenient=true,zone=sun.util.calendar.ZoneInfo[id="America/New_York",offset= -18000000,dstSavings=3600000,useDaylight=true,transitions=235,lastRule=java.util .SimpleTimeZone[id=America/New_York,offset=-18000000,dstSavings=3600000,useDayli ght=true,startYear=0,startMode=3,startMonth=2,startDay=8,startDayOfWeek=1,startT ime=7200000,startTimeMode=0,endMode=3,endMonth=10,endDay=1,endDayOfWeek=1,endTim e=7200000,endTimeMode=0]],firstDayOfWeek=1,minimalDaysInFirstWeek=1,ERA=1,YEAR=2 010,MONTH=2,WEEK_OF_YEAR=12,WEEK_OF_MONTH=3,DAY_OF_MONTH=18,DAY_OF_YEAR=77,DAY_O F_WEEK=5,DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH=3,AM_PM=1,HOUR=1,HOUR_OF_DAY=13,MINUTE=28,SECOND=2 0,MILLISECOND=642,ZONE_OFFSET=-18000000,DST_OFFSET=3600000] 3600000 --------- Linux Thu Mar 18 12:28:43 CDT 2010 java.util.GregorianCalendar[time=1268933323106,areFieldsSet=true,areAllFieldsSet=true,lenient=true,zone=sun.util.calendar.ZoneInfo[id="America/Chicago",offset=-21600000,dstSavings=3600000,useDaylight=true,transitions=235,lastRule=java.util.SimpleTimeZone[id=America/Chicago,offset=-21600000,dstSavings=3600000,useDaylight=true,startYear=0,startMode=3,startMonth=2,startDay=8,startDayOfWeek=1,startTime=7200000,startTimeMode=0,endMode=3,endMonth=10,endDay=1,endDayOfWeek=1,endTime=7200000,endTimeMode=0]],firstDayOfWeek=1,minimalDaysInFirstWeek=1,ERA=1,YEAR=2010,MONTH=2,WEEK_OF_YEAR=12,WEEK_OF_MONTH=3,DAY_OF_MONTH=18,DAY_OF_YEAR=77,DAY_OF_WEEK=5,DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH=3,AM_PM=1,HOUR=0,HOUR_OF_DAY=12,MINUTE=28,SECOND=43,MILLISECOND=106,ZONE_OFFSET=-21600000,DST_OFFSET=3600000] 3600000 But manually forcing the timezone by running java -Duser.timezone=US/Eastern -cp .
