Syntax Description

specifies the number of hours and minutes that are used as the UTC offset in the Date header field of an e-mail. Use the UTC offset to establish the local time.
Requirement:The value of the EMAILUTCOFFSET= system option must be enclosed in double or single quotation marks.

Details

If your computer time setting is a local time, or if your computer time setting does not account for Daylight Saving Time, you can use the EMAILUTCOFFSET= system option to set a UTC offset in the Date header field of an SMTP e-mail. If the Date header field contains a UTC offset, the value specified by the EMAILUTCOFFSET= system option replaces that UTC offset.

Example

This example uses the date of January 1, 2011, one hour, one minute, and one second after midnight:
OPTIONS Statement
Date: Header 
options emailutcoffset="+0930";
Date: Sat, 01 Jan2011 01:01:01 +0930 
options emailutcoffset="-0600";
Date Sat, 01 Jan2011 01:01:01 -0600
