Converts a date from server timezone to UTC/GMT timezone. Works around behavior in LP8.1.0 that will blindly convert dates without checking if already in UTC/GMT time (thus incorrectly shifting the time out of UTC/GMT).
Parameters
-date
date, optional
The date to be converted to UTC/GMT time. Default is to use the current date/time.
Sample Usage
lp_date_localtoUTC: date;
