UTC (Coordinated Universal Time)

[Jack Kelly]

Can anyone provide a routine to get the current UTC? Thank you...

If you mean the current time IN UTC(and not the timezone offset), the GetSystemTime() API call always returns the current time in UTC.

struct SYSTEMTIME,_
Year as short, Month as short,_
DayOfWeek as short, Day as short,_
Hour as short, Minute as short, Second as short,_
Milliseconds as short

'GetSystemTime() retrives the current time as UTC.
CallDLL #kernel32, "GetSystemTime",_
SYSTEMTIME as struct,_
ret as void

print "Year        - ";SYSTEMTIME.Year.struct
print "Month       - ";SYSTEMTIME.Month.struct
print "Day         - ";SYSTEMTIME.Day.struct
print "Day of Week - ";SYSTEMTIME.DayOfWeek.struct
print "Hour        - ";SYSTEMTIME.Hour.struct
print "Minute      - ";SYSTEMTIME.Minute.struct
print "Second      - ";SYSTEMTIME.Second.struct
print "Millisecond - ";SYSTEMTIME.Milliseconds.struct

Thanks, Chris. I'll see if I can make that call work.
