FORMULA LANGUAGE


@TimeZoneToText
Example

Converts a canonical time zone value to a human-readable text string.

Syntax

@TimeZoneToText( timeZone ; formatString )

Parameters

timeZone


formatString Return value

string


Usage

If the first parameter is a list, the function operates on each list element, and the return value is a list with the same number of elements.

This function is useful for displaying the contents of a Time zone field in a view. If you do not use this function, a Time zone field value displays in the view with a format similar to the following:

Z=9$DO=1$DL=4 1 1 10-1 1$ZX=1$ZN=Alaskan

Also use this function with the @GetCurrentTimeZone function to translate the time zone value it returns into a readable string.
