MEL Calculator Help

[S.K.]

Hello,

i need some help for MEL Calculator. The problem is to get the UTC Time and Date and aslo to calculate 3/10/120 days up to the Date.

for example the current date is 03.10.2016 and in 3 Days the result is the 06.10.2016 and in 10 Days 13.10.2016 and the same with 120 Days.

Thank you for your help

Have you seen these blocks?

For current UTC time you can use a free API like http://www.timeapi.org/

Format Z gives you the time zone, and from there you can get UTC.

Thanks 

the Day calculation works fine but i have some problems to get the UTC Time with Z. See on Top 2 Blokcs.

I had to go into my emulator's settings and set its time zone manually to EST to get these results ...

The format Z returned -400 for EST, so to get my UTC of 11 PM from my EST of 7 PM I have to add 4 hours.

To cut off the 00 and reverse the sign, divide by -100 and add it to the current hour?
