LAST EDITED: AUG 10, 2016
HELP-PROMPT: Select the country that shares the same DAYLIGHT, STANDARD, or SUMMER settings.
DESCRIPTION: Some countries follow the same date and time that a timezone's timeframe changes. Having this flag
saves duplication of data entry for those countries.
Example: USA, Canada and Mexico have overlapping timezones. If the date and time that those
timezones change from STANDARD to DAYLIGHT SAVINGS (and vice versa) is the same, then it is only
necessary to have that information entered once.
