The procedure writes
value as a
DATETIME-TZ value, adding default time zone information. The format of the
DATETIME-TZ value is a subset of the ISO8601 format.
If the message might be consumed by a non-OpenEdge application in a different time zone from that of the sending application, the ABL programmer must ensure that the receiving application can interpret the value correctly. OpenEdge applications that receive the message correctly interpret the
DATETIME-TZ value.
