fn:timezone-from-date

Category:

Value extraction from time values, date values and duration

Origin:

XPath 2.0

Return value:

The timezone component of a date in the form of a duration value of xs:dayTimeDuration type.

Call/Arguments:

fn:timezone-from-date($dateValue?)

$dateValue:

Optional. A date value of xs:date type whose timezone component shall be extracted.

Purpose of use:

The function extracts the value of the timezone offset of the UTC time of a date passed on in the form of a duration value of xs:dayTimeDuration type.

The outputted value may move in the interval between +14:00 (PT14H) and -14:00 hours (-PT14H). If the empty sequence is passed on, the function returns an empty result sequence.

Example - extraction of the timezone factor from a date indication:

fn:timezone-from-date( xs:date("2003-07-30-05:00")

)

returns the value -05:00 in the form of -PT5H as xs:dayTimeDuration.

The function is not available.

XPath 2.0:

fn:timezone-from-date($arg as xs:date?) as xs:dayTimeDuration?
