set aDateTimeObject = aString.convertToDateTime()
set aDateTimeObject = convertToDateTime(LITERAL)
Semantics
convertToDateTime() converts the internal lexical representation of DateTime ("CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss[.sss][Z|[+|-]hh:mm]") to a DateTime type. If the conversion is not possible, an error message is raised (for instance: NULL strings).
Substitutables
aString
Can be any variable or object attribute having the type String. The format must correspond to the lexical representation of DateTime.
LITERAL
String literal. The format must correspond to the lexical representation of DateTime.
Examples
set aDateTimeObject = aString.convertToDateTime();
