%Library.StringTimeStamp

datatype class %Library.StringTimeStamp extends %Library.DataType

ODBC Type: VARCHAR

The %StringTimeStamp data type class represents a time stamp value.

The logical value of the %TimeStamp data type is in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format.

Method Inventory

Parameters

parameter DISPLAYLIST;
Used for enumerated (multiple-choice) attributes. Used in conjunction with the VALUELIST parameter for enumerated (multiple-choice) attributes. DISPLAYLIST, if not null, represents the display values for the attribute corresponding with the logical values listed in VALUELIST.

The display values are returned by the LogicalToDisplay method.

parameter MAXVAL;
The maximum allowed logical value for the data type.
parameter MINVAL;
The minimum allowed logical value for the data type.
parameter VALUELIST;
Used for enumerated (multiple-choice) attributes. VALUELIST is either a null string ("") or a delimiter separated list (where the delimiter is the first character) of logical values. If a non-null value is present, then the attribute is restricted to values in the list, and the validation code simply checks to see if the value is in the list.
parameter XMLTIMEZONE = UTC;
XMLTIMEZONE specifies the handling of timezone part of the XML format dateTime. "UTC" means convert to UTC on input. "IGNORE means ignore the timezone.
parameter XSDTYPE = dateTime;
Declares the XSD type used when projecting XML Schemas.

Methods

classmethod DisplayToLogical(%val As %String) as %TimeStamp
Converts the input value %val, which represents a timestamp value, to YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format.

Returns the value of the input string %val as a timestamp value (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format).

classmethod IsValid(%val As %CacheString) as %Status
Tests if the logical value %val, which represents a timestamp value in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format, is valid. The validation is based on the class parameter settings used for the class attribute this data type is associated with. In this case, MAXVAL and MINVAL.
classmethod LogicalToDisplay(%val As %TimeStamp) as %String
Converts the value of %val, which is in logical format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS, into a display string. The formatting is based on the value of the FORMAT parameter.

Returns the formatted value of %val.

classmethod LogicalToXSD(%val As %StringTimeStamp) as %String
Converts the Cache %StringTimeStamp value to the canonical SOAP encoded value.
classmethod Normalize(%val As %CacheString) as %TimeStamp
Transforms integer values into timestamp.
classmethod OdbcToLogical(%val As %String) as %TimeStamp
Converts %val, which represents either a Timestamp in ODBC format, or a Date in ODBC format, into a logical Timestamp value.

Returns the logical Timestamp value of the ODBC Timestamp string %val.

classmethod XSDToLogical(%val As %String) as %StringTimeStamp
Converts the SOAP encoded input dateTime value into a Cache %TimeStamp value.
