AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
To format a date to a specific timezone in NetSuite using the
n/format
module, you can use the
format
function. This function takes an object as a parameter, which includes the type of format, the value to be formatted, and the timezone. Here is an example of how to use it:
Copy code
javascript
var format = require('N/format');

var formattedDate = format.format({
    type: format.Type.DATETIME,
    value: new Date(),
    timezone: format.Timezone.AMERICA_NEW_YORK
});
In this example, a new Date object is created representing the current date and time. This date is then formatted to the 'AMERICA_NEW_YORK' timezone using the
format
function from the
n/format
module. The formatted date is then stored in the
formattedDate
variable. Please note that the
format
function returns a string representation of the date, formatted according to the user's date and time preferences and using the specified timezone. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
