- String Functions
- Specific UNO Functions
OpenOffice.org Basic supports several Visual Basic compatible statements and functions to perform date and time calculations. The functions are DateSerial, DateValue, Day, Month, WeekDay, Year, Hour, Now, Second, TimeSerial, TimeValue, Date, Time, and Timer.
The function Date returns the current system date as a string and the function Time returns the current system time as a string. The other functions are not explained.
In the UNO/toolkit controls context there are two other functions. The date field control method com.sun.star.awt.XDateField:setDate() expects the date to be passed as a long value in a special ISO format and the com.sun.star.awt.XDateField:getDate() returns the date in this format.
The Basic runtime function CDateToIso converts a date from the internal Basic date format to the required ISO date format. Since the string date format returned by the Date function is converted to the internal Basic date format automatically, Date can be used directly as an input parameter for CDateToIso:
IsoDate = CDateToIso(Date) oTextField.setDate(IsoDate)
The runtime function CDateFromIso represents the reverse operation and converts a date from the ISO date format to the internal Basic date format.
Dim aDate as date aDate = CDateFromIso(IsoDate)
