writeDateTime procedure

Writes a date-time value as String data to the body of a StreamMessage.

Syntax

PROCEDURE writeDateTime. DEFINE INPUT PARAMETER value AS DATETIME.

Applies to

Message objects

Notes

The procedure actually writes value as a DATETIME-TZ value, adding default time and time zone information.
The format of the DATETIME-TZ value is a subset of the ISO8601 format.
An error is returned if the Unknown value (?) is specified.
If the message may 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.
