Using PeopleCode Time Functions

Three PeopleCode functions convert times to their base time zone equivalent: ConvertTimeToBase, ConvertDatetimeToBase and DayTimeToTimeZone. Another function, IsDaylightSavings, establishes whether daylight saving time is in effect on a particular date.

Additionally, you can use system variables %clienttimezone and %basetimezone in PeopleCode programs or as field default values. The %clienttimezone variable returns the current user’s local time zone, and %basetimezone returns the base time zone of the database.
