command to tell if a computer is in daylight savings or not

[AJL]

I have a data plugin that reads my binary data files, written in a LV app, and imports then into the data portal.  I have to convert the time from seconds since 1904 to seconds since 1900 so I get the correct time.  The problem is that the constant I am using only works while we are in daylight savings time.  Is there a way I can call a windows function, in DIAdem, that will tell me if the computer is in daylight savings or not?  If so I can use one of two constants to convert my time.

If this helps I have,

Diadem 9.1

Windows XP

and iI am in Eastern Standard Time

Thank you,

AJL

Hi AJL,

To my knowledge, there is nothing built into DIAdem to determine whether you are in or out of Daylight Savings Time, however I may have found something for you.  I did a google search on VBS for determining if a date is in Daylight Savings Time, and I did receive a piece of code that may help you.  I did not test this code, nor do I know anything about the author, but after taking a quick glance at it, it makes sense that it would give you the correct value.  You can find this page here: VBScript to determine if date is in DST from PaulSadowski.com  Let me know if this doesn't work for you for some reason.  Thanks and have a good one.
