Universal Time Methods

Siebel eScript has methods for both Greenwich mean time (abbreviated GMT) date and time, and for Universal Coordinated Time (abbreviated as UTC). GMT dates and times observe daylight savings time, whereas UTC dates and times do not. UTC nominally reflects the mean solar time along the Earth's prime meridian (0 degrees longitude, which runs through the Greenwich Observatory outside of London). UTC is also known as World Time and Universal Time. It is a time standard used everywhere in the world.

Siebel eScript includes the following Date and time functions for working with UTC values.
