Problem Description: Formatting a date/time string using the Local2Utc function reverts to the local server time.

Steps to Reproduce:

<!--- Set local time --->
<cfset LocalTime = DateConvert("Local2Utc",Now())>

<!--- Set timestamp --->
<cfset Timestamp = "#DateFormat(LocalTime,'yyyy-mm-dd')#T#TimeFormat(LocalTime,'HH:mm:ss')#.00Z">

<p><cfdump var="#LocalTime#"></p>
<p><cfdump var="#Timestamp#"></p>

Actual Result:

Actual result for the timestamp variable is local date/time and not a UTC date/time.

Expected Result:

I expected a date/time variable in UTC format.

Any Workarounds:

I have not found any workarounds because the function itself is not working.

Here is a potential workaround using the Mid() function. <cfset Timestamp = "#Mid(LocalTime,6,10)#T#Mid(LocalTime,17,8)#.00Z">
