Sets a date-time value as String data in a MapMessage.

Syntax

PROCEDURE setDateTime.
DEFINE INPUT PARAMETER itemName AS CHARACTER.
DEFINE INPUT PARAMETER value AS DATETIME.

Applies to

Message objects

Notes

  • The date-time value is set as a String message property.
  • The procedure writes value as a DATETIME-TZ value, adding default time zone information. The format of the DATETIME-TZ value is a subset of the ISO8601 format.
  • If the message might be consumed by a non-OpenEdge application in a different time zone from that of the sending application, the ABL programmer must ensure that the receiving application can interpret the value correctly. OpenEdge applications that receive the message correctly interpret the DATETIME-TZ value.
  • An error is returned if the Unknown value (?) is specified.
