Date and Time values

Clarion standard date is the number of days that have elapsed since December 28, 1800. The range of accessible dates is from January 1, 1801 (standard date 4) to December 31, 9999 (standard date 2,994,626).
Clarion standard time is the number of hundredths of a second that have elapsed since midnight, plus one (1). The valid range is from 1 (defined as midnight) to 8,640,000 (defined as 11:59:59.99 PM).

Conversions supported

• Clarion standard date (int) --> java.time.LocalDate
• Clarion standard time (int) --> java.time.LocalTime
• java.time.LocalDate --> Clarion standard date (int)
• java.time.LocalTime --> larion standard time (int)

Example code

int clarionDateToday = DateUtils.getValueFromDate(LocalDate.now());
int clarionTimeNow = DateUtils.getValueFromTime(LocalTime.now());
LocalDate dateToday = DateUtils.getDateFromValue(clarionDateToday);
LocalTime timeNow = DateUtils.getTimeFromValue(clarionTimeNow);
