[lp_date_UTCtoLocal]

Description

Converts a date from UTC/GMT timezone to server timezone.  Works around behavior in LP8.1.0 that will blindly convert dates without checking if already in local time (thus incorrectly shifting the time out of local time).

Sample Usage

var:'test' = lp_date_localtoUTC;
lp_date_UTCtoLocal: $test;
lp_date_UTCtoLocal: date;
