SimpleDateFormat problem parsing timezone

[anja]

Hi,

I've written some code that should parse some date information like this:

- "2007-4-27 6:54:0 PST"
- "2007-4-27 6:54:0 EDT"

The code looks like this:

  UErrorCode status(U_ZERO_ERROR);
  static const icu::UnicodeString pattern("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss zzz", -1, US_INV);
  icu::SimpleDateFormat date_format(
      pattern,
      status);
  const icu::TimeZone* timezone = icu::TimeZone::createTimeZone("PST");
  date_format.setTimeZone(*timezone);
  UDate date = date_format.parse(i18n::Utf16FromUtf8(value),
                                 status);

It works fine for timezones given in PST, but if the timezone information is EDT an error gets reported by U_FAILURE(status).

Any idea how the code has to be changed to support both timezones?

Thanks,
Anja
