Validate datetime format

Most Sirius $functions have been deprecated in favor of Object Oriented methods. There is currently no OO equivalent for the $Sir_DateFmt function.

The $Sir_DateFmt function expects a datetime format string and returns the value 1 if the datetime format is valid, else the value 0.

<section begin="syntax" /> %tst = $Sir_DateFmt(fmt) <section end="syntax" />

%tst	Set to 1 if `fmt` is a valid datetime format string, otherwise set to 0.
fmt	Datetime format string. Refer to "Datetime string formats" for an explanation of valid datetime format strings.

The following fragment prints the string Good:

%x = $Sir_DateFmt('CYYDDDHHMISSXXX') If %x = 1 Then Print 'Good' Else Print 'Bad' End If
