B4J DateTime parse with Timezone

Hello, I have a string that i would like to parse. The datetime string has TimeZone and is in custom format
eg: Tue Jun 28 09:15:28 CAT 2016

The equivalent format is DateTime.DateFormat = "EE MMM dd hh:mm:ss z yyyy"

how do i get the ticks for this custom date format.

thank you
