adjust-date-to-timezone

Adjusts a date value to a specific time zone, or removes the time zone component from the date value.

Syntax

fn:adjust-date-to-timezone(arg, timezone)

The following table describes the arguments:

Argument	Required/ Optional	Description
arg	Required	The date value that is to be adjusted. The date-value is of type xs:date or is an empty sequence.
timezone	Optional	A duration that represents the time zone to which date-value is to be adjusted.

Return Value

The fn:adjust-date-to-timezone function behaves differently depending on whether the $arg date value already has a time zone, and on the value of the time zone provided as given below:

The $timezone argument is expressed as an xs:dayTimeDuration, for example -PT5H for US Eastern Standard Time.

If $timezone is an empty sequence, returns an xs:date without a time zone. Otherwise, returns an xs:date with a time zone.

If $arg already has a time zone, its value is adjusted to that time zone.

To adjust the time zone, an xs:date is treated as an xs:dateTime with time 00:00:00 .

If $arg does not already have a time zone, its date part stays the same, and the time is associated with the specified time zone.

If $timezone is omitted from the function call, it is assumed to be the implicit time zone.
