getTimeZoneInformation API Call

[michael]

Hi all.
I need some help.
I'm trying to call API function getTimeZoneInformation()
It requieres structure like TIME_ZONE_INFORMATION {
long Bias;
char StandardName[ 32 ];
SYSTEMTIME StandardDate;
long StandardBias;
char DaylightName[ 32 ];
SYSTEMTIME DaylightDate;
long DaylightBias;
}
I've defined a PB structure like
s_time_zone_information from structure:
long il_bias
character ich_astandartname[32]
s_systemtime istr_standartdate
long il_standatbias
character ich_daylightname[32]
s_systemtime istr_daylightdate
long il_daylightbias

where s_systemtime:
global type s_systemtime from structure
integer ii_Year
integer ii_Month
integer ii_DayOfWeek
integer ii_Day
integer ii_Hour
integer ii_Minute
integer ii_Second
integer ii_Milliseconds
end type
( syntax from export)

s_systemtime works normal, API functions like getlocaltime, getsystemtime
return correct results.
But getTimeZoneInformation() returns garbage after first character array.

Can somebody help me?
Thanks

Michael.

Hi,

The systemtime structure should be of LONGs, because a WORD in 32bit OS is 4
bytes, not 2.

Hi.
Thanks for replying.
I tried to replace int by long but situation became even worse -
GetSystemTime and GetLocalTime stoped working also.
But I've fixed this problem by changing char[32] by char[64]
(i guess., wchar type contains 2 bytes).

Hi,

Yep, that's true. BTW, indeed a WORD is a 16bit integer. DWORD is 32bit.
Just looked it up so you already did that right. Glad you've got it working.
