Product.......: R:BASE X.5 and R:BASE X.5 Enterprise (Version 10.5)
Build.........: 10.5.4.11007 or higher
Sections......: Commands
Keywords......: PLUGIN, TimeZone, Daylight Saving Time
Did you know that a new TimeZone plugin has been introduced?
A new TimeZone plugin has been implemented to determines
the current time zone and daylight saving time settings for
the computer.
If the computer is configured for daylight saving time, the
plugin returns the date and local time when the transition
from standard time to daylight saving time, and vice versa,
occurs on the operating system.
PLUGIN TimeZone vResult|ACTION GET_INFO
The below variables are generated for a computer in the Eastern
Standard Time zone, automatically adjusted to ON for daylight
saving time:
Variable = Value Type
----------------- -------------------------- -------
vRBTITZBias = 300 INTEGER
vRBTITZStdName = Eastern Standard Time TEXT
vRBTITZStdDate = 11/01/0000 02:00:00:00 TEXT
vRBTITZStdBias = 0 INTEGER
vRBTITZDLName = Eastern Daylight Time TEXT
vRBTITZDLDate = 03/02/0000 02:00:00:00 TEXT
vRBTITZDLBias = -60 INTEGER
vResult = OK - DST_IN_DAYLIGHT_DATE TEXT
An example for application use is when time calculations that
must be performed on loaded date/time values, where the
calculation will differ based upon the computer's daylight
savings time setting.
Very Best R:egards,
