This error typically arises when the system encounters a problem with the time zone settings or the format of the timestamp being processed.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Time Zone: The specified time zone (&1) may not be valid or recognized by the system.
  Incorrect Timestamp Format: The timestamp being processed may not be in the expected format, leading to conversion issues.
  System Configuration: There may be issues with the system configuration related to time zones, such as missing or incorrect settings in the time zone table.

  Update Time Zone Data:
