Hi Troy
You would need to program aroud it to achieve what you want. I would store a
time zone adjustment for each user in a different time zone to the AS/400 and
then use a sub-procedure in a service program to adjust the timestamp whenever
you need to. The following should work for you:
Physical File (TZFILE)
=======
A R TZRECORD
A*
A TZUSER 10
A TZADJ 4S 0
A*
A K TZUSER
Service Program (TZPROC)
==========
* ************************************************************************
* * Procedure: TimeZone - Return users local time according to their
* * "time zone"
* ************************************************************************
H NoMain Option(*NoDebugIo:*SrcStmt)
FTZFile IF E K Disk
D PgmDs SDS
D CurrentUser 254 263
D TimeZone pr z
D TimeZoneUser 10
* ------------------------------------------------------------------------
P TimeZone b Export
D TimeZone pi z
D TimeZoneUser 10
D CurrentTime s z
D Hrs s 2S 0
D Mins s 2S 0
* Retrieve the current system date and time (Timestamp)...
C Time CurrentTime
* Check the TimeZone user file to see if a record exists...
C TimeZoneUser Chain(E) TZFile
* If no record found then the time zone offset will be zero...
C If %Found
* Note, the TimeZone adjustment is in HHMM form and is the adjustment to
* the "local" system time, not GMT/UCT...
C Eval Hrs = TzAdj / 100
C Eval Mins = TzAdj - (Hrs * 100)
C AddDur Hrs :*Hours CurrentTime
C AddDur Mins:*Minutes CurrentTime
C EndIf
C Return CurrentTime
P TimeZone e
Usage Example (TZTEST)
=========
* Define work variables...
D WorkTime s z
D User1 s 10 Inz('TOM')
D User2 s 10 Inz('DICK')
D User3 s 10 Inz('HARRY')
D User4 s 10 Inz('FRED')
* Procedure Prototype...
D TimeZone pr z
D TimeZoneUser 10
* Get Current Time and display it...
C Time WorkTime
C WorkTime Dsply
* Get Time in Tom's time zone it...
C Eval WorkTime = TimeZone(User1)
C WorkTime Dsply
* Get Time in Dick's time zone it...
C Eval WorkTime = TimeZone(User2)
C WorkTime Dsply
* Get Time in Harry's time zone it...
C Eval WorkTime = TimeZone(User3)
C WorkTime Dsply
* Get Time in Fred's time zone it...
C Eval WorkTime = TimeZone(User4)
C WorkTime Dsply
C Eval *INLR = *ON
C Return
Results
=====
If file TZFILE holds the following records:
TZUSER TZADJ
DICK 100-
HARRY 600-
TOM 200
Then the results would be:
DSPLY 2004-11-08-14.47.28.580000 (Current System Time)
DSPLY 2004-11-08-16.47.29.940000 (Tom - In time zone +02:00)
DSPLY 2004-11-08-13.47.30.519000 (Dick - In time zone -01:00)
DSPLY 2004-11-08-08.47.31.335000 (Harry - In time zone -06:00)
DSPLY 2004-11-08-14.47.31.925000 (Fred - In same time zone as AS/400)
Note, the TZADJ field is in HHMM format and is relative to the time zone that
the AS/400's clock is set to.
Hope that helps
best regards
