SetTimeZone
Sets the time zone associated with a program.
Syntax
SetTimeZone(Val)
Parameters
Val
Type: None
Long or Text value specifying time zone to use.
(return)
Type: Long
Index of the new time zone.
Remarks
This function changes the time zone associated with the program in which the function is called, as specified by Val. By default, the program's time zone is the local time zone of the server.
If Val is a Long value, it is the index value of a time zone defined in the registry on the server.
If Val is a Text value, it is the name of a time zone defined in the registry on the server.
If Val is NULL or empty, the time zone associated with the program is not changed.
If a time zone name is used, it is case-insensitive.
The special values of -1 and “UTC” can be used for the time zone; these do not correspond to anything in the registry, but instead refer to UTC time, with no offset or daylight saving defined.
If Val is any other type, an error occurs.
If the time zone specified by Val is not in the registry, an error occurs.
