Chapter 3 DynaScript Predefined Objects
Enables the storage and retrieval of dates
and times. The Date
object
has no properties.
Standard: ECMAScript
To use a Date's method:
Date.MethodName( parameter )
The Date object may be constructed in any of these ways:
MyDateObj = new Date( )
MyDateObj = new Date( dateVal )
MyDateObj = new Date( [year, month [, date [, hours [, minutes [, seconds [, ms]]]]]] )
The following syntax creates an integer holding the number of milliseconds from midnight, January 1, 1970.
myInt = DateUTC( [year, [month [, date [, hours [, minutes [, seconds [, ms]]]]]]] )
The parameters are:
The Date object has both a built-in object as well as constructors that allow users to create instances of a Date object. When referring to Date in the syntax sections of this chapter, we are referring to an instance of the Date object, not the built-in Date object.
If a value for the date object goes beyond its boundaries, the other values will be modified accordingly. For example if 14 is the given value for the month parameter, the month value will be equal to March.
<!--SCRIPT
myDateObj = new Date("98", "01", "11", "8","30")
