All,
Is there a way to determine the current Time Zone Name or Time Zone ID using UTC offset ? For e.g.
Data Test;
UtcOffset = -7;
Run;
I would like to retrieve enough information to be able to call tzones2u function i.e. timezone id .
Alternatively, even a macro based solution is fine if I have the following
%Let UtcOffset = -7;
Best
Uday
I don't know of a built-in function.
If there none, you can easily build an informat from the pages Time Zone IDs and Time Zone Names
@ChrisNZ ,
I am able to implement it in a different way :
data _null_;
start_date = datetime();
new_date1 = intnx("HOUR",start_date,-3);
format new_date1 datetime.;
put new_date1;
run;
%Let t1 = %sysfunc(datetime());
%Let t2 = %sysfunc(intnx(hour,%sysfunc(datetime()),-3,same), datetime.);
%Put &t2;
