GetLocalTime Function

Overview

The GetLocalTime function returns the computer’s local time as a string or a date-time qword.

Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

string = GetLocalTime ( int format );

qword  = GetLocalTime ( );

Parameters

format

An optional int containing bitwise flags for a date formatting. This parameter must be specified in order to return a string value for the date and time; otherwise the return value is a qword. See the date string (DS_) format codes in Section 5.12 Date and Time Functions for more information.

Return Value

Returns a string if format is set or a date-time qword if it is not.

Remarks

Unless otherwise specified, the string value is adjusted by the system for the time zone and daylight savings time. The DS_FILETIME_UTC parameter has no effect.

Note that file times are generally UTC and this function will provide a local time version of that value. Most functions expect the file time to be in UTC. Passing the file time to a function such as FormatDate will generally result in the wrong time zone being processed.

This function is subject to locale time zone override for the application.
