Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Messaging and ESB

setDate procedure

Sets a date value as String data in a MapMessage.

Syntax

PROCEDURE setDate. DEFINE INPUT PARAMETER brokerList AS CHARACTER.

Applies to

Message objects

Notes

The procedure writes value as a DATETIME-TZ value, adding default time and time zone information:
A time of 12:00AM (midnight).
The default time zone of the client application.
If the message might be consumed by an application in a different time zone from that of the sending application, the 4GL programmer must ensure that the receiving application can interpret the value correctly.
The format of the DATETIME-TZ value is a subset of the ISO8601 format.
An error is returned if the Unknown value (?) is specified.
