Hi erickp,

In addition to Ashvin's response you can also use totime function.

totime(local(now())) -- Returns in Local Timezone

totime(now()) -- Returns in GMT Timezone

Hi Eric,

Use the following code, where ri!dateTime is your value of 6/27/2018 10:09 AM EDT: cast(8, local(ri!dateTime)). This should return you the time value in local timezone. If you need the raw value, just remove the local() function from the above cast.

Best,
Ashvin
