It's local time (at least on Windows).

Code: Select all

; PB 6.20 beta 4 (x64)

#Mask$ = "%yyyy-%mm-%dd %hh:%ii:%ss"

Debug FormatDate(#Mask$, #PB_Compiler_Date)
Debug FormatDate(#Mask$, Date())
Debug FormatDate(#Mask$, DateUTC())

Thanks for this..

I'm in the UK, where the current timezone is the same as UTC, so the snippet you posted returns three identical timestamps. I'm guessing you get different results with #PB_Compiler_Date matching the local timestamp?

Yes it's local time, I will add it to the doc

Yes, exactly. I forgot to mention that, sorry!

Would it be possible to add a #PB_Compiler_DateUTC ?
