Description

TimeZone

(Optional) If you include a time zone string, the system makes sure that string is valid. If it is invalid, the system returns an empty string.

The default is to return the system’s current time zone setting.

Here are some examples:

This example returns the system time zone, such as America/New_York:

T1 = TimeZone()

This example checks to see if a time zone string, such as Europe/London, is valid:

T1 = 'Europe/London'

T2 = TimeZone(T1)

if (T2 = '') then

Print_It(T1 & 'is not a valid time zone string')

else

Print_It(T1 & 'is a valid time zone string')

end
