All-day event in Lotus Notes using iCalendar

I am trying to create an .ics file that can be used to import all-day events.

I'm using the following code in the .ics file:

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
PRODID:-//hacksw/handcal//NONSGML v1.0//EN
BEGIN:VEVENT
UID:[email protected]
DTSTAMP:19970714T170000Z
ORGANIZER;CN=John Doe:MAILTO:[email protected]
DTSTART;TSID="GMT":20110719T040000
DTEND;TSID="GMT":20110719T200000
TRANSP:OPAQUE
SUMMARY:Holiday
X-LOTUS-UPDATE-SEQ:1
X-LOTUS-NOTESVERSION:2
X-LOTUS-APPTTYPE:2
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR

I exported a test all-day event, so I could check the formatting, but it still does not display in the top panel as an all-day event.

Does anyone know how to get an event to appear as an all-day event in Lotus Notes?

DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20050301
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20050302
DTSTAMP:20050301
URL:
 http://www.innerjoin.org/iCalendar/test-cases/20050301-20050302.txt

The correct solution was to remove the time from the DTSTART and DTEND e.g.

DTSTART;TSID="GMT":20110719T040000  ==> DTSTART;TSID="GMT":20110719

Hope this helps some people.
