Group |
Parses a text a using format template b and creates a timestamp from these values.
Description of Parameters
Parameter |
Description |
a |
The text to be interpreted. If a String cannot be interpreted with the format template b, an error occurs and parameter c controls the further behaviour of the function. |
b |
|
c |
(optional) Behaviour of function if the text cannot be parsed as a date. See also parameter a. Default: empty |
d |
(optional) Locale. Default: System locale. Note: Use the three dots to select a value. Example: de_DE |
e |
(optional) Timezone. Default: System timezone. Example: UTC |
Possible Values for Parameter c
Value |
Behaviour of Function |
now |
The current date will be returned. |
empty |
The Empty Flag is set. Internally, the field also receives the current date. However, because of the Empty Flag, the value is not visible. |
error |
The function terminates with an error. |
Other value |
Instead of the input value, this value will be used. If this text cannot be interpreted with b either, the function will terminate with an error. |
Examples
Current date of the example: 2011-10-20 15:33:23.0
The system has the timezone Europe/Berlin.
Note: No date cannot be interpreted as a timestamp with any format template b and thus triggers an error. The further behaviour of the function is then controlled with parameter c.
