How can a VB program account for GMT in the message object's PutDateTime property? On the mainframe there are functions I can call that tell me if GMT is observed, and if so, what is the offset..
On Windows, using VB COM components, the message PutDateTime property returns the time using GMT. I could just hardcode a value to subtract to get the local time, but then when switching to or from Daylight Savings Time, the hardcoded value would be wrong. Has anyone developed a way to compensate for GMT? I could just write a quick, non-persistent message with a short expiry, and read it back in to the program and compare the current time with the PutDateTime to get the offset, but that seems like overkill (and too much overhead)..
