DATETIME-format functions

The DATETIME-format functions are dtcvfmtasc( ) and dttofmtasc( ).

These functions support extensions to format era-based DATETIME values:
  • Support for the GL_DATETIME environment variable
  • Support for era-based date and times of the DBTIME environment variable
  • Extensions to the date and time format strings for DATETIME-format functions
  • Support for a precedence of DATETIME display formats

These topics describe locale-specific behavior of the DATETIME-format functions. For general information about the DATETIME-format functions, see the HCL OneDB™ ESQL/C Programmer's Manual.
