Need Clarification on how to convert GMT+5:30 to IST
Hi Team,
I have a requirement so as to to convert GMT +5:30 into IST i.e i need to convert GMT into the user specific timezone.
.pxCurrentDateTime property has been used and it is a text input,can it be converted using a validate rule by replace string property.
Please provide detailed clarification for the same.
Thanks

Hi Ajeesh,
Thanks for posting on PSC.
We have an OOTB function "CurrentDate", it returns today's date as a string in specified format and time zone.
For Ex:-
Return Today's date as a string in specified format and time zone
Parameters:
- strDateFormat: the desired date format of the current date to return <br>
- strTimeZone: the desired time zone of the current date to return <br>
Example:
CurrentDate("MMM dd yyyy hh:mm:ss a", "PST") = "Jan 21 2009 08:38:06 PM"
Hope it addresses your business requirement, kindly let us know if it does, by marking this post as answered for broader Pega audience and tracking purposes

Hi Asif,
The CurrentDate OOTB function is fine,but my requirement is to convert GMT to IST
For Eg:Currently the date is being displayed as Tuesday, March 6, 2018 11:12:57 GMT +5:30
