# system.kanoa.utilities.convertDatesToString(datesIn, deviceUTCOffSetMins)

When passing a date to a stored procedure, it needs to be converted to the timezone of the SQL Server
We are assuming here that the SQL Server is in the same time zone as the gateway server
We adjust the passed in dates to the servers timezone and then return it as a string before passing it to the stored procedure
