FwDateTimeToLocal

FwDateTimeToLocal(cDateTime, [nVerao]) --> aDateTime

Converts a timestamp string to local date/time.

FwDateTimeToLocalAdvPL

01 · OVERVIEW

Overview

Accepts W3C ISO 8601/RFC 3339 formats and returns local date/time in two positions. Z or an offset contributes to the instant; do not merely strip it. nVerao accepts 1/0; defaults depend on MV_HVERAO in an open environment. The example explicitly uses zero without promising a fixed time in an unknown timezone. (Sources: refs. 1–1.)

02 · SYNTAX

Commented example

#Include "Protheus.ch"

User Function Ed415()
    Local aLocal := FwDateTimeToLocal("2026-10-26T12:00:00Z",0)
    // Environment timezone determines conversion.
    ConOut(cValToChar(Len(aLocal)))
Return Nil

Expected result

Two-element array with environment-local date and time. Under review: editorial example neither compiled nor run in Protheus. Check includes, release, RDD and context before testing.

BEST PRACTICES

Check context and return before integration; the example does not replace a complete routine.
