string normalizedString	INPUT	Serializes the 4GL parameter into the SOAP request message according to the XML Schema serialization rules.
	OUTPUT	De-serializes the string value from the SOAP response message into the 4GL parameter as if the 4GL DATETIME( ) function was called on the string.
dateTime	INPUT	Serializes the 4GL parameter into the SOAP request message according to the XML Schema serialization rules without a time zone.
	OUTPUT	De-serializes the XML Schema value from the SOAP response message into the 4GL parameter according to the XML Schema serialization rules with the value set to the local time adjusted from any time zone information (which is stripped away). If there is no time zone information the value is stored as is.
date	INPUT	Serializes the 4GL parameter into the SOAP request message according to the XML Schema serialization rules. The time part of the DATETIME value is lost.
	OUTPUT	De-serializes the XML Schema value from the SOAP response message into the 4GL parameter according to the XML Schema serialization rules with the date adjusted for any time zone information (which is stripped away). The 4GL DATETIME value has the time set to 12:00 midnight.
