The setUTCFullYear method sets the day of the month for the date object, based on UTC (Universal Time Zone).

I18n Issues
Whether or not calling setUTCFullYear is an i18n issue is dependent on how it is being used in the application.
One possible issue is:
- UTC is being used rather than either the system's local time zone or the application's time zone. It is usually recommended that all
stored dates be in UTC time zone so that they can be retrieved and displayed based on the application's time zone.
Suggested Replacement
Although you can call setFullYear to use the local time zone rather than UTC, we recommend that you keep the
call to setUTCFullYear . Then, when displaying the date, call one of the locale-sensitive date methods, which support setting the time zone as well
as using the locale to format the date:
toLocaleDateString
toLocaleString
toLocaleTimeString
Globalyzer will detect this method and report it as an i18n issue. If you have determined that the call is being handled correctly, you can
use Globalyzer's Ignore Comment
functionality to ensure that it isn't picked up in a subsequent scan.
