Tobi,
Thanks for the pointer to that thread. I had tried searching the message
archives, but I probably didn't find it since I was looking for bugs
related to the Format function.
I did try changing CDate(...) to Date(...), but it didn't change my
results. I had also tried an implicit conversio

I noticed a post from Benoît in another thread that this mailing list has
been deprecated, so I'm going to repost this in u...@lists.gambas-basic.org

That is definitely part of the issue. My local time is GMT-04, and here's
what I get when specifying the time in my test:
Test date: 5/4/2018 03:59:00 Formatted: 05/03/18 Thu

But Debug (Print) localizes!
However, with the dates I always get lost :-(

CDate uses UTC and, without the time information in the string, it would store
midnight. Format uses local time.
So, anyone in a time zone behind UTC will get the previous day printed. Try
this format string:
zTestResult = Format(CDate(zTestDate), "mm/dd/yy hh:nn ddd")
Does the difference in ho
It also works with Gambas 3.11.2

Is there something that's more up-to-date?

I think it depends on your version of Gambas, I get the correct result with
the master:
Dim zTestDate As String
Dim zTestResult As String
zTestDate = "5/4/2018"
zTestResult = Format(CDate(zTestDate), "mm/dd/yy ddd")
Debug "Test date: " & zTestDate & " Formatted: " & zTestResult
'' Resu
When using the Format function to format a date, the date gets offset by 1
day. Here's an example:
Dim zTestDate As String
Dim zTestResult As String
zTestDate = "5/4/2018"
zTestResult = Format(CDate(zTestDate), "mm/dd/yy ddd")
Debug "Test date: " & zTestDate & " Formatted: " & zTestResu
