Date and time functions
A time string can be in any of the following formats:
1 YYYY-MM-DD
2 YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM
3 YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
4 YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.SSS
5 HH:MM
6 HH:MM:SS
7 HH:MM:SS.SSS
8 now
9 DDDD.DDDD
Formats 5 through 7 that specify only a time assume a date of 2000-01-01.
Format 8 is converted into the current date and time, using Universal
Coordinated Time (UTC). Format 9 is the Julian day number expressed as a
floating point value.
Most of the
Date and Time functions are derived from the uFormatDate
function. The only difference is that the other
Date and Time functions only
return a special format or part of the date and they do not have the first format
parameter. Therefore,
uDate() is equivalent to uFormatDate("%Y-%m-%d").
