Re: Local Time

CEELOCT is going to return the system local time (so if the system is in
Mountain time they you're set to go).  As the system is in one time zone
(Central) and your plant in another, I would probably use the Convert Date
and Time Format (QWCCVTTM) API.  Calling it as in:

dcl &answer *char 17
call qwccvtdt ('*CURRENT' ' ' '*YYMD' &answer 0 '*SYS' 'QN0700MST'  ' ' 0
'0')

will, at offset 8 through 13, give you the current time in time zone
QN0700MST (Mountain Standard Time).  For details on all the various
parameters you should refer to the V5R3 Information Center under
Programming/APIs/APIs by category/Date and Time/Convert Date and Time
Format

I would like to use the api CEELOCT to retrieve the local time for a plant
in Montana.  The i5 is in the central time zone.  Will the CEELOCT api give
me the time in mountain time?
