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.

Syntax

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

Syntax terms

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

Example

The following fragment prints the string Good:

%X = $Sir_DateFmt('CYYDDDHHMISSXXX') IF %X = 1 THEN PRINT 'Good' ELSE PRINT 'Bad' END IF

This $function has no error conditions.
