I'm not sure you can get Qlikview to send that to the sql server. Normally you put SQL in front of a statement and it will be send to the odbc/oledb driver etc. But statements are terminated with a semicolon. And those are embedded in your statement too.

But you don't need to use the SQL database to convert timestamps to  other timezones. Qlikview has the ConvertToLocalTime function which allows you to convert any timestamp to a timestamp in the time zone of your choice.
