It's funny how these myths get started. UI-View does NOT ignore
an object if the time is "      z" (6 spaces) or "       " (7 spaces) or
"000000Z" or "111111z" or "111111h". They work just fine.

As mentioned above, 111111z works just fine in UI-View.

If you have an example of an object that UI-View ignores, I would be
happy to look at it and test it for you in UI-View 2.03.
