UTC_get_hour(utime,string)

[detroit1]

Hi All,

Can someone help me understand the UTC in B9. Is there any document out there thats explains how to setup time zones.

Also in Expression Manager\Advanced Functions\Time Zone Functions how can I calculate the hour, more specifically what goes in the String Paramenter?. System function is as follows:
UTC_get_hour(utime,string)

Has anyone used these system functions and how useful are they ?

Any opinion or suggestion is welcome.

Thanks,

The string it is looking for is the UTC time zone so it can return the hour for the specified time zone.

UTC_get_hour(utime,string)

Example:
utc_get_hour(utc_get_cur_time(),"UTC -5:00")

Will return 10 if the Eastern UTC time is 10AM.

"UTC -5:00" is the adjustment for US Eastern time. It literally means subtract 5 hours and zero minutes from the UTC time.

There is a document on the knowledge garden that discusses UTC time and how some of the APIs work. If you do a knowledge search for "UTC", one of the listings is for Data Item JDEUTIME. This listing then has an attached document titled "Data Item Class JDEUTIME".

Hello,
Can you give me more details from the UTC time zone?
I've read the "Data Item Class JDEUTIME", but I can not understand how to use the Time Zone Functions.

Thanks,
Daniel.
