Summer time is not observed in Japan. We have a similar situation where we have offices in the UK, South Africa, and Hong Kong which are on line to the I520 in North Carolina. My solution was not as elegant as those shown.

Hi Charles

Yeah, looking at it again, retrieving the UTC as Rob did is quite funky and
handles one end of the equation, but you'd also need to retrieve the UTC for
Tokyo at the time of the calculation, unless they don't (and never will) use
DST, or their DST start and end dates are (and always will be) the same as
where Rob is (Indiana ?) :)

Of course maybe your talking about DST in Tokyo?

That's a better question :)

And I don't know the answer....

The QUTCOFFSET value Rob retrieves changes with DST.

Hi Rob

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

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).
