GMTOFFSET function


Syntax:

  GMTOFFSET() 

This returns the current offset from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), in seconds. A positive result indicates that your local time is ahead of GMT by that amount.

If GMT cannot be computed because the TZ environment variable was not set, the function returns a question mark (the character '?'). See "Setting the TZ environment variable" for more information.
