UTC values specify a
time and a time zone based on the zero meridian in Greenwich, England.
The E8601DZ informat reads datetime values that contain UTC time offsets
and that are specified in one of the following ISO 8601 extended datetime
notations:
-
yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.<ffffff>+|–hh:mm
-
yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.<ffffff>Z
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.
+|–hh:mm
is an hour and minute
signed offset from zero meridian time. Note that the offset must be
+|–hh:mm (that is, +
or – and five characters).
Use + for time zones
east of the zero meridian, and use – for time zones west of
the zero meridian. For example, +02:00 indicates a two-hour time difference
to the east of the zero meridian, and –06:00 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 UTC time at the zero meridian (Greenwich, England).
