| You might expect [[token:ICUDateTimeFor|%ICUDateTimeFor%]] [[function:TIME|TIME(2017, 1, 1)]] `%EEE, MMM d, yyyy%` to yield `Sun, Jan 1, 2017`. However, it may yield `Sat, Dec 31, 2016`, depending on your local time zone. | You might expect “%[[token:ICUDateTimeFor|ICUDateTimeFor]]%[[function:TIME|TIME(2017, 1, 1)]]%EEE, MMM d, yyyy%” to yield `Sun, Jan 1, 2017`.

| So, if you use [[token:ICUDateTimeFor|%ICUDateTimeFor%]] [[function:TIME|TIME(2017, 1, 1 , 12, 0, 0)]] `%EEE, MMM d, yyyy%` you will now get the expected result of `Sun, Jan 1, 2017` | So, if you use “%[[token:ICUDateTimeFor|ICUDateTimeFor]]%[[function:TIME|TIME(2017, 1, 1 , 12, 0, 0)]]%EEE, MMM d, yyyy%” you will now get the expected result of `Sun, Jan 1, 2017` |
