Hello Poornima,
You would probably have to create an active link with a set fields action using
the $PROCESS$ keyword to parse the ar.ini file, located in the AR System\home
directory on the client. For example, if the time zone is set to "GMT+5:30
(IST) Asia/Calcutta", you should find the following line in the ar.ini file:
TZ=Asia/Calcutta
(It looks like the ar.ini file only stores the name of the time zone, not the
actual numerical offset from GMT).
You could use a set field value similar to the following to extract this
information to a text field:
$PROCESS$ cmd /c findstr "TZ=" "C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Application Data\AR System\home\ar.ini"
If you just want to extract the name of the time zone (e.g., "Asia/Calcutta")
and drop the "TZ=" prefix, you can get a little fancier:
$PROCESS$ cmd /c for /f "tokens=1-2 delims==" %a in ('findstr "TZ="
"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\AR System\home\ar.ini"')
do @echo %b
(Of course, you could also use the SUBSTRING function in ARS if you prefer).
If your clients have the AR Home folder installed to different locations other
than the 'All Users' profile, you may need to make this more dynamic.
Also, you should probably add the following statement into the 'Run If' on the
active link, so that it does not run in the Mid-Tier environment:
$CLIENT-TYPE$ != 9
Hope this helps,
Thomas

** Hi ALL,
When a user selects from the menu Tools > Options > Locale > Time Zone
and selects a time zone other than the PC default, that selected time zone
needs to be populated in one field. How is it possible?
This is not for preference server option where i can take from the AR
System User preference form. I am not Using Preference server option here.
Any suggestions on this?
Thnks,
Poornima
