Hi,
Is there anyway to generate the current date and current time given the time zone?
Thank you in advance for your help. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You can use ! in a format string to os.date, and get the current UTC date/timestamp and then make your adjustements from there. For example:
> = os.date("!%c")
Sun Aug 17 08:59:22 2008
Of course you can do the same when requesting a time table, as in:
> os.date("!*t")
