Posted on by Mehmet Ali Akbulut

I want to ask about the time zone that you see in the code below. Turkey (GMT + 02: 00) time zone that was changed later.

Timezone enum no changing time zones in Turkey's flour. How to add this to Timezone?

static void UserInfoPrefTime(Args _args)
{
    UserInfo  UserInfo;

    ttsBegin;

      while select forupdate UserInfo
        where  UserInfo.enable == NoYes::Yes

        if(UserInfo)
            {
                UserInfo.preferredTimeZone = Timezone::GMTPLUS0300BAGHDAD; // Timezone enum no changing time zones in Turkey's flour.
                UserInfo.doUpdate();
            }

    ttsCommit;

    info("ok");
}

Hi Mehmet Ali Akbulut!

Try select GMTPLUS0200ISTANBUL in Timezone enum. And you don't need to check UserInfo while using while select statement.

while select forupdate UserInfo where UserInfo.enable == NoYes::Yes { UserInfo.preferredTimeZone = Timezone::GMTPLUS0200ISTANBUL; UserInfo.doUpdate(); }

Hi!

I don't have a time zone. GMTPLUS0200ISTANBUL.

I think this time zone needs to be added to the Timezone enum. But I don't know how to add :(

You can't add new element in Timezone enum, it's a system enum.

Try to use GMTPLUS0200ATHENS_BUCHAREST_ISTANBUL?

According to the product documentation there should be value GMTPLUS0200ATHENS_BUCHAREST_ISTANBUL available, at least in AX2012.

Can you find this in your system?

Ok, now I get it. Turkey changed its time zone in 2016. Apparently this time zone is not included / updated in AX2009.

If this time zone is the same as any of the existing time zones, I would simply try to customize the UI so that it shows the desired time zone name.

Since this is a system enum, you can't add values or change labels. One solution would be to replace the lookup with a custom lookup where you change the label of the time zone to match your requirement.

Here is some discussion that might help you implement it: community.dynamics.com/.../252383
