TimeStamp Methods

The methods defined in the TimeStamp primitive type are summarized in the following table.

Method	Description
date	Returns the date part of the receiver
display	Returns a string representing the value of the receiver
getSecondsFromUnixEpoch	Returns the number of seconds between the Unix epoch and the TimeStamp
isValid	Returns true if the receiver contains a valid timestamp value
literalFormat	Returns a string representing the receiver in literal format
localToUTCTime	Converts a timestamp in local time to UTC using the time zone in which the method executes
localToUTCTimeUsingBias	Converts a timestamp in local time to UTC using the specified bias
setByteOrderLocal	Returns a timestamp that has the bytes ordered as required by the local node
setByteOrderRemote	Returns a timestamp that has the bytes ordered as required by the specified remote node
setDate	Sets the date part of the receiver to a specified date
setFromUnixEpoch	Sets the TimeStamp by adding the specified number of seconds to the Unix epoch
setTime	Sets the time part of the receiver to a specified time
time	Returns the time part of the receiver
utcToLocalTime	Converts a timestamp in UTC time to local time for the time zone in which the method executes
utcToLocalTimeUsingBias	Converts a timestamp in UTC time to local time using the specified bias
