Example

This example assumes that the time zone on the local node is Pacific Standard Time (UTC-0800). The UTC time passed to the function is 12:00:00 AM on Friday, 1/2/1970. Since PST is 8 hours behind UTC, the function will return the following results:

StringFromGMTTimeToLocal(86400, 1); ' returns "1/1/1970"

StringFromGMTTimeToLocal(86400, 2); ' returns "04:00:00 PM"

StringFromGMTTimeToLocal(86400, 3); ' returns "Thu Jan 01 16:00:00 1970"

StringFromGMTTimeToLocal(86400, 4); ' returns "Thu"

StringFromGMTTimeToLocal(86400, 5); ' returns "Thursday"
