  ****************************************************************
  During runtime if a TWDate object is passed into an AIS
  component, the time is not correctly translated back to the
  local timezone.  The timezone difference is not properly
  calculated and results in a offset of the actual time in local
  timezone.
  

Problem conclusion

• Code changes have been made to properly calculate the timezone
  offsets and produce the correct local timezone time. An
  interim fix is available on v8.0.1.1. The fix will be
  integrated into the next fix pack.
