Date/Time Types

---

By default, the xsd:dateTime, xsd:date, and xsd:time types are mapped to character string variables. However, if the -numDateTime command line option is selected, or a <ctype>numeric</ctype> configuration item is associated with a date/time type, then a reference to the following numeric structure is used:

typedef struct OSXSDDateTime {
 
   OSINT32      year;
 
   OSUINT8      mon;            /* 1 <=  mon    <= 12   */
 
   OSUINT8      day;            /* 1 <=  day    <= 31   */
 
   OSUINT8      hour;           /* 0 <=  hour   <= 23   */
 
   OSUINT8      min;            /* 0 <=  min    <= 59	*/
 
   OSREAL       sec;
 
   OSBOOL       tz_flag;        /* is tzo explicitely set? */
 
   OSINT32      tzo;            /* -1440 <= tzo <= 1440 */
 
} OSXSDDateTime;
 

For C++, a class is derived from this type (OSXSDDateTimeClass) which provide constructors and helper methods to manipulate date/time values. For example, conversions to and from system time types such as time_t and struct tm are supported. See the XBinder C/C++ Run-time Reference Manual for more details.

The general mapping is as follows:

XSD type:	<xsd:simpleType name="TypeName"> <xsd:restriction base="xsd:dateTime"/> </xsd:simpleType>
Generated C code:	typedef OSXSDDateTime TypeName;
Generated C++ code:	class TypeName : public OSXSDDateTimeClass { ... } ;
