UTC values specify a
time and a time zone based on the zero meridian in Greenwich, England.
The B8601DZ informat reads datetime values that are specified in
one of the following ISO 8601 basic datetime notations:
mm
is a two-digit month
(zero padded) between 01 and 12.
dd
is a two-digit day
of the month (zero padded) between 01 and 31.
hh
is a two-digit hour
(zero padded) between 00 and 24.
mm
is a two-digit minute
(zero padded) between 00 and 59.
ss
is a two-digit second
(zero padded) between 00 and 59.
ffffff
are optional fractional
seconds, with a precision of up to six digits, where each digit is
between 0 and 9.
+|–hhmm
is an hour and minute
signed offset from zero meridian time. Note that the offset must be
+|–hhmm (that is, +
or – and four characters).
Use + for time zones
east of the zero meridian, and use – for time zones west of
the zero meridian. For example, +0200 indicates a two-hour time difference
to the east of the zero meridian, and –0600 indicates a six–hour
time difference to the west of the zero meridian.
Restriction: The
shorter form +|–hh is
not supported.
Z
indicates that the
time is for zero meridian (Greenwich, England) or +0000 UTC time.
