How do you define switch.

The formula
TZ=EST5EDT,3,2,0,7200,11,1,0,7200,3600
will not change. The output for a given input, however, will change. I
call that a switch.

Not unless you ignore everything after the first field.

A quick look at the macro definition should answer that.
>RCF time?
Il va sans dire!
