DateTimeWithTimeZoneOffset( dateTime, sourceTimeZone, destinationTimeZone )
Parameters:
dateTime | The date time value of time zone sourceTimeZone which should be changed to the value of the time zone destinationTimeZone. |
---|---|
sourceTimeZone | The time zone identifier for the dateTime passed. Such as 'CET', 'GMT'. The general format is like this: 'GMT[+ or -]hours[:minutes]' e.g. 'GMT+12'. You can find the ID's at: http://tutorials.jenkov.com/java-date-time/java-util-timezone.html#available-time-zones. |
destinationTimeZone | The time zone identifier for the dateTime which should be returned. |
Returns:
DateTime
Examples:
We assume that we have a date time value like this: December 24th 2005, 11:24:56 AM in Central European Time (CET). Now we want to know what the datetime value is for Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). So we create the following function:
DateTimeWithTimeZoneOffset( DateTime(2005,12,24,11,24,56), 'CET', 'GMT') -> Returns the datetime value as December 24th 2005, 10:24:56 AM as we have one hour difference between Central European Time (CET) and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
We assume that we have a date time value like this: July 24th 2005, 11:24:56 AM in Central European Time (CET). Now we want to know what the datetime value is for Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). So we create the following function:
DateTimeWithTimeZoneOffset( DateTime(2005,7,24,11,24,56), 'CET', 'GMT') -> Returns the datetime value as July 24th 2005, 9:24:56 AM as we have one hour difference between Central European Time (CET) and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and one our difference additionally because CET has one our of daylight saving time.
