Re: Time question

Hi Rob

What about daylight savings or other time zone changes - how would that
remain in synch ?

Evan Harris

QUTCOFFSET for Tokyo is +9 hours
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=248

RTVSYSVAL QUTCOFFSET for your system offset.  Mine is currently -4.  Now
it's 4:40pm on Tuesday at -4utc and 5:40am on Wednesday at +9utc a
difference of 13 hours.

TokyoUTC=9;
MyUTC=GetUTC();  // call RTVSYSVAL QUTCOFFSET
HoursSpread=TokyoUTC-MyUTC; // 9 - (-4) = 13
TokyoTimeStamp=%timestamp() + %hours(HoursSpread).

I have a program that needs to retrieve the system time and display it,
but
it needs to be displayed as Tokyo time.  The UTC offset for the partition
where the program is running will probably always be different from the
UTC
for Tokyo, so how do I calculate Tokyo time relative to the current System
i
time?
