Getting UTC date time in PCDMIS BASIC

I'm currently using the calls Date() and Time() in PCDMIS but I need UTC time. Are there calls for that? I can't find anything else in the Basic documentation.

Thanks

Simple Date + Time pop-up, I am not sure how to pull exactly UTC, I'm looking into it

Sub Main

    MsgBox  Date & " " & Time

End Sub

Windows API Call

Private Declare Sub GetSystemTime Lib "kernel32" (ByRef lpSystemTime As Any)

Sub ShowUtcTime()
    Dim sysTime(7) As Integer  ' SYSTEMTIME struct: 8 WORDs (16-bit integers)

    GetSystemTime sysTime(0)

    Dim utcTime As String
    utcTime = Format(sysTime(0), "0000") & "-" & _
              Format(sysTime(1), "00") & "-" & _
              Format(sysTime(3), "00") & " " & _
              Format(sysTime(4), "00") & ":" & _
              Format(sysTime(5), "00") & ":" & _
              Format(sysTime(6), "00")

    MsgBox "UTC Time: " & utcTime
End Sub
