How do you get a $ZTIMESTAMP in local time?.

I have found this solution and it works:

 Set LocalTimestamp=$ZDATETIMEH($ZTIMESTAMP,-3)

Do you use any better way?

Note:

The preferred way to convert UTC time to local time is to use the $ZDATETIMEH(utc,-3) function. This function adjusts for local time variants.^proof

Also see ##class(%UTC).NowLocal()

Just note that $NOW() doesn't adjust for Daylight Saving Time.
