Buenos Aires is at latitude 34 deg 36 min 13 sec South, and longitude
58 deg 22 min 54 sec West.

In Remind, Western longitudes are *positive* unlike the usual convention.
I think you'll find you get the correct answer if you use:

SET $LatDeg -34
SET $LatMin -36
SET $LatSec -13

SET $LongDeg 58
SET $LongMin 22
SET $LongSec 54

Those coordinates give me sunrise of 06:15 and sunset
of 19:06 local time, for today.

Regards,

Dianne.
