RE: Converting Unix Jan 01 1970 UTC epoch datetime stamp to iSeries ESTdatetime stamp

I did find similar code but this looks to me like it will adjust the time based on the current value in QUTCOFFSET not the value it was at the time the unix timestamp was made. So if "today" is December 1 and the time difference is -05:00 but the unix stamp was made June 1 when the offset was only -04:00 the result will be off 1 hour won't it?

I'm using something similar to the code here:

iSeries

ESTdatetime stamp

Has anyone already created a routine to convert a Unix datetime stamp
which is in seconds from Jan 01 1970 and is in UTC time to an iSeries
datetime stamp adjusted for local time zone (in my case just US

Eastern).

I have the conversion from Unix to iSeries datetime stamp working but

I

can't figure out how to do the time zone adjustment. The time zone
adjustment needs to be made based on the datetime stamp I am receiving

not

the current datetime that it is being processed.
