Hi all,
We have a customer in the US (-5 hours), and we would like them to run on the same server and version of progress as one of our UK customers, and also their partner. This creates problems such as the date format and the time difference issue. We solved the date format by using "SESSION: DATE_FORMAT='mmddyy'", so that US and UK dates appear different throughout the system. The next problem we have is the time, as they are 5 hours behind UK time.
Yes, the obvious is at every output of time, just add/subtract the timezone hours - but this is in hundreds of programs! I was thinking of something a little easier, like the session feature, but can't find anything, either here, the manuals, or the dreaded Progress support site.
Any one any ideas?
