      (aString)

Parameters

aString

The date as a character string in ISO 8601 format.

Return value

A Date type object that matches the date set as a parameter.

Remarks

The syntax is as follows:


              date
              time[time-zone]


              dateTtime[time-zone]

The date must have the following format:

YYYY-MM-DD

For compatibility reasons, the following format is also accepted:

YYYY/MM/DD

The time must have the following format:

hh:mm:ss
hh:mm:ss.nnn

The time zone, if specified, must have the following format:

Z
+hh:mm
-hh:mm
+hh
-hh

If the time zone isn't specified, the date will be converted into the current time zone (depending on context). Examples:

2005-03-02 00:00:00
2005-03-02
2005-03-02T14:32:26
2005-03-02T14:32:26.0000
2005-03-02T14:32:26.0000000+01:00
2005-03-02T14:32:26+01:00
2005-03-02T14:32:26Z
2005-03-02T14:32:26.0005Z
2005/03/02 14:32:25
