Hi Andreas,
You can do this with the NEW_TIME date funntion:
SQL> alter session set NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'DD-MM-YYY HH24:MI:SS';
Session altered.
SQL> select sysdate "GMT" from dual;
GMT
------------------
03-04-001 17:05:25
SQL> select new_time(sysdate, 'GMT', 'AST') "AST" from dual;
AST
------------------
03-04-001 13:08:41
This shows Atlantic Standard Time, there are a list of the time zones
available, and description of the funciton in the SQL Reference Manaual -
page 185

Hi !
Is there a way to get GMT time within PL/SQL independent from
the local time(zone), I'm looking for a function similar to SYSDATE,
but it should return GMT instead of the local time.
TIA
Andreas
