#4029 new Bug

_Date_Time_SystemTimeToDateTimeStr() wrong output

Description (last modified by jchd18)

The function _Date_Time_SystemTimeToDateTimeStr() has two related but distinct bugs.

Note: the timestamp returned by _Date_Time_GetSystemTime() is raw UTC.

Local $tST = _Date_Time_GetSystemTime()
ConsoleWrite(_Date_Time_SystemTimeToDateTimeStr($tST, 1, 0) & @LF)
ConsoleWrite(_Date_Time_SystemTimeToDateTimeStr($tST, 1, 1) & @LF)

produces the same output:

2024/09/26 12:23:46
2024/09/26 12:23:46

but the first should be shifted by timezone and DST settings. (I'm in France and currently UTC+02:00.)

Local $tST = _Date_Time_GetSystemTime()
ConsoleWrite(_Date_Time_SystemTimeToDateTimeStr($tST, 3, 0) & @LF)
ConsoleWrite(_Date_Time_SystemTimeToDateTimeStr($tST, 3, 1) & @LF)

produces a very wrong output:

2024-09-26T12:30:29-02:00
2024-09-26T12:30:29Z

The second output correctly displays the UTC time.
The first line has YMDhms wrong by 2 hours and timeshift should read "+02:00", hence the first line should be showing local time with offset from UTC, like this:

2024-09-26T14:30:29+02:00

The above reads "it's 14:30:29 local time, and offset from UTC is +2h". To compute UTC from that, one must subtract the offset from the timestamp.

The help file is ambiguous and even wrong on the role of parameter $iType.
