Trying to use %Library.PosixTime to convert a date/time and add/subtract seconds to the PosixTime but then when it goes back to a timestamp doesn't seem to have worked.
- I take a time stamp and convert it to a PosixTime
- Then for an Timezone offset (for example America/New_York would be -05:00) convert it to seconds -18000
- I add the -18000 to the PosixTime
- I convert the PosixTime to time stamp - shouldn't the time stamp show a lot more of a difference?

- I am guessing that adding -18000 is not really a difference of 5 hours? What am I missing?
Thanks,
Kris

Please note that "%PosixTime values have a 1 microsecond resolution", see %Library.PosixTime class reference documentation.
Then:
USER>set ts="2023-12-12 19:46:19.000"
USER>set Posix=##class(%Library.PosixTime).TimeStampToLogical(ts)
USER>write ##class(%Library.PosixTime).LogicalToTimeStamp(Posix-18000000000)

Obviously I didn't read the information clearly!
Thank you!!!
