time as x in the new time zone. Although the new

in the year, month, days, etc. elements) it is a
different moment of time than the input date-time.

(UTC) when an unrecognized time zone is inputted. See

recognizes time zones.

to convert to. R must recognize the name contained in the
string as a time zone on your system.
