Zone function

Hi,

I have a very bizarre situation with Notes Clients based in India using the Citrix operating system. The @Zone function returns a value of -3005. I’m expecting it to return something linke -5.1. Anybody seen this before?

Many thanks.

This is correct behaviour. The value you are getting back is a signed number in format mmhh. This is not Notes, this is the international standard.

Hi,

Thanks for that, although it doesn’t match the Domino documentation which states that the return value will be something like 5.1.

The difficulty is now that in the UK @Zone returns 0.1 and in NY the @Zone returns 5.1 but in India it returns -3005. This does not make it easy to adjust times to the GMT value.

Also, are you sure that there are time zones with Minutes difference to GMT?

However, if the final digits in India using Citrix are the hours then I’ll have to code to work this out accordingly.

Many thanks.
