DITTO !!! I like date truncation, but when I store a truncated date, I don't want to retrieve the time in Greenwich, England at midnight of the date I'm truncating in the local machine's time zone. Nothing against the Brits, it just doesn't do me any good to know what time it was over there on the day in question. What I want back is midnight of the correct day in the time zone of the local machine. In other words, when I specify DAY resolution, I'm saying TIME-ZONE IS IRRELEVENT, ALWAYS GIVE ME THE CORRECT DATE IN THE LOCAL TIME ZONE.
Understanding the need for backwards-compatibility, I vote that there ought to be some kind of parameter I can set when converting Date-To-String and String-To-Date to force TRUNCATION of a date (as in Oracle, for example) so that it will return the correct date in local time when retrieved. Without the ability to force symmetrical storage-retrieval, I think any DateTools Resolutions to time units greater than hours has no practical value and only serves to mislead people. -----Original Message----- From: Michael J.
