>                 Key: FLEX-34316
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-34316
>             Project: Apache Flex
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Formatters
>    Affects Versions: Apache Flex 4.12.0
>            Reporter: Jeff Spicer
>            Assignee: Justin Mclean
>            Priority: Minor
>
> when using the letter Z in a dateFormatter formatString, it's interpreted in SDK 4.12 to mean the literal string "GMT".
> in SDK 4.6, it's interpreted to mean a literal "Z".
> This messes with legacy dates that are using the literal letter Z.
> formatters saving dates to a server as formatString="YYYY-MM-DD JJ:NN:SSZ" are going to now save them with a "GMT" on the end, instead of "Z"
> I suggest letting both "Z" and "GMT" be literal strings, and wherever possible, don't break previous versions of the sdk
