Argument Reference

dt_string string
Required

pop_conversion string
Default: standard

- standard: function does no conversion.
- pop: specifies that the date/time string is in POP format, which includes the local time of the sender and a time-zone offset from UTC. ColdFusion applies the offset and returns
a value with the UTC time.
- Apart from these two values, this parameter allows you to directly specify the format in which to parse the given string.
Values:
  • standard
  • pop
