Syntax:

UTCTime()

Parameters:

None

Returns:

UTC Time

The function returns the current UTC time.

Examples:

If the system time is 12:30:00 and the time zone is set to +03:00 then UTCTime() returns 09:30:00.

Note:

The UTCTime() function is often used in an Init column. This will set the field to the current UTC time the first time the user sees the screen, and is also useful for setting timestamps for when a record was created or modified.

For an even more precise time, use the UTCmTime function.
