Hi Guys..
I m having a small probs here..
I require my sysdate to be shown as per s specific timezone and Locale..for eg..
If i require to show the United States time..and also the date..
for eg..i have some code written ..but i m not getting the required answer..
//For indian standard time..
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT+05:30"));

Hi...
i think ur code is alright.. i can't figure our any probs with that... only thing is that it is returning hours in 24 hrs format.. if u want it in 12 hr format then istaed of

 int hour12 = cal.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY); 

you should write

 int hour12 = cal.get(Calendar.HOUR);  

and for american time you can write..

 
import java.util.*;
class  TestLocale
{
public static void main(String[] args) 
{
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("[B]GMT+05:30[/B]"));
int hour12 = cal.get(Calendar.HOUR); 
int val = cal.get(Calendar.AM_PM); 
String str = "";
if (val == 0){
str = "AM";
}else{
str = "PM";
}
System.out.println(hour12+" "+str);
}
}

i hope i am clear.. for any quesries please revert back..
Thanks
Amit
