fmxslt:compare_date(String date1,
String date2)
number This function compares two date values. It returns a
negative number if date1 is before date2. It returns a
positive number if date1 is after date2. It returns a 0 if
date1 is identical to date2. Both dates must be specified
in the short date format.
fmxslt:compare_time(String time1,
String time2)
number This function compares two time values. It returns a
negative number if time1 is before time2. It returns a
positive number if time1 is after time2. It returns a 0 if
time1 is identical to time2. Both times must be specified
in the short time format.
fmxslt:compare_day(String day1,
String day2)
number This function compares two day values. It returns a
negative number if day1 is before day2. It returns a
