RXS_charToTimestamp()

Use RXS_charToTimestamp() to easily convert a timestamp coming from an XML document (i.e. string representation of a timestamp) to a valid IBM i/RPG timestamp format. This will save the headache of programming for all of the different timestamp formats out there and doing a bunch of sub-stringing and concatenation.

Valid keywords for pFormat are listed below:

• yyyy = Year
• MM = Month
• dd = Day
• hh = Hour
• mm = Minute
• ss = Second
• SS = Millisecond

Typical usage would look like:

RXS_charToTimestamp(strTimestamp: 'yyyy-MM-dd-hh.mm.ss.SSSSSS': %Timestamp());
