Hello John,
Thanks for posting your query on PSC.
I agree with Patrick's suggestion (that is) to use FormatDateTime passing EST as timezone parameter. Refer https://pdn.pega.com/support-articles/format-date-time-est-not-gmt, a Support article on PRPC 6.3. However, you can try it on Pega 7.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Rincy
Use the FormatDateTime function to get the appropriate date by passing the required timezone as a parameter.
E.g. @(Pega-RULES:DateTime).FormatDateTime(@(Pega-RULES:DateTime).getCurrentTimeStamp,"MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a", "EST", "en_US")
Regards
Patrick
