Keyword | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
|
Date and Time |
The base Date and Time to be modified. |
|
Number (Integer) |
The time zone offset to subtract from the datetime parameter. |
Date and Time
This function does not store a time zone offset with the returned value.
The datetime parameter accepts date values, date and time values, and process properties such as pp!starttime.
The timezone parameter accepts four formats of input:
America/Denver
.MST
.GMT-06:00
.-30
.Time zone IDs, time zone acronyms, and GMT offsets must be enclosed in quotation marks (""
). If a timezone is not passed, the time zone of the current context is used.
Passing a time zone ID (such as "Asia/Tokyo"
) causes the result to be adjusted for daylight saving time. Passing a time zone acronym (such as "GMT"
) does not cause the result to be adjusted for daylight saving time.
Note: These examples assume the system or user time zone is Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
