      The function ecm:timeZone converts the specified time zone ID to a (Java utility class) timezone. The value returned is a timezone type.

      This function is often used to convert values to timezones for use with functions that require timezone types in parameters.

      Example

      A message is sent to all customers who made a purchase in the last 5 days. The ecm:addInterval function returns the value of today's date minus five days:

      ecx:formatDate(ecm:addInterval(date.today, '-5d'),'yyyy-MM-dd',ecm:timeZone('Europe/London'),'',false.

      The ecm:timeZone function determines which time zone is used when calculating the value of today's date (date.today).
