HCL Domino Designer Basic User Guide and Reference
This guide provides information on using HCL Domino Designer and programming language reference information.
Connectors
Connectors provide native access to a wide variety of DBMS products, ODBC, the platform File system, Enterprise Resource Planning systems, and Transaction Processing systems.
LSX for Connectors
LotusScript® Extensions for Connectors (LC LSX) enhances the power of Notes® by extending its scripting to data outside of Notes through the use of Connectors. The programming model is independent of the individual connector. This eliminates the need to learn each individual system, while at the same time allowing experienced users to access the individual features of a specific system.

    - Chapter 4 LCDatetime Class
      This chapter provides information about the LCDatetime class methods and properties.
      - LCDatetime class overview
        The LCDatetime class represents a specific date and time, including time zone and daylight savings time information. A datetime value may have either its date or time component unavailable, indicated by special constant values for date (LCDTNULL_DATE) or time (LCDTNULL_TIME) components. Flags control the behavior for the existence/absence of the date or time portion. During any datetime overflow, the maximum or minimum valid datetime value is assigned in addition to the error return.
      - Syntax for HEI Scripted Activities - 3
        When writing LotusScript® Extensions (LC LSX) scripts for HCL Enterprise Integrator (HEI) Scripted activities, you must specify Dim LCSession as a named session (this becomes the default log document name). LCConnections must also be dimensioned as existing, named HEI connection documents.

      - New Method for LCDatetime
        This is the constructor for LCDatetime. It initializes a new LCDatetime object.
      - Creating a Null Datetime Object
        A "null" LCDatetime value is one whose text is "". There are three ways to obtain such a value, as listed.
      - Adjust Method for LCDatetime
        This method alters a datetime by specified datetime units.
      - Clear Method for LCDatetime
        This method clears a previously set Datetime value to. This gives it the same value as a new LCDatetime created without any constructor arguments.
      - Compare Method for LCDatetime
        This method compares two Datetime values and returns the relationship.
      - Copy Method for LCDatetime
        This method makes a copy of an LCDatetime object.
      - GetDiff Method for LCDatetime
        This method gets the difference between the values of two LCDatetime objects.
      - SetConstant Method for LCDatetime
        This method produces a special constant Datetime object.
      - SetCurrent Method for LCDatetime
        This method sets the Datetime value to the current system datetime, including time zone and Daylight Savings Time setting.

LCDatetime Properties Summary

The following table summarizes LCDatetime properties.


Property	Description
LCDatetime.Minute	Long. Minute (0-59), or -1 if the object contains a date only.
LCDatetime.Second	Long. Second (0-59), or -1 if the object contains a date only.
LCDatetime.Hundredth	Long. Hundredths of second (0-99), or -1 if the object contains a date only.
LCDatetime.Day	Long. Day of month (1-31), or -1 if the object contains a time only.
LCDatetime.Hour	Long. Hour (0-23), or -1 if the object contains a date only.
LCDatetime.Month	Long. Month (1-12), or -1 if the object contains a time only.
LCDatetime.Year	Long. Integer indicating the year (1-32767), or -1 if the object contains a time only.
LCDatetime.Weekday	Long, read-only. Integer indicating the day of the week (1-7, Sunday = 1), or -1 if the object contains a time only.
LCDatetime.Zone	Long. Integer indicating the time zone (-12 to 12). Note: While Zone is a writeable property, assigning the Zone property does not change the Hour to the corresponding time in the new zone. If you want this done, you must do it yourself.
LCDatetime.DST	Boolean. Indicates whether Daylight Savings Time is in effect.
LCDatetime.Ticks	Long. Tick count representing hundredths of a second since midnight. Returns -1 if the object contains a date only.
LCDatetime.Julian	Long. Integer representing the Julian date by indicating the number of days since January 1, 4713 BC. If the object contains a time value only, returns -1.
LCDatetime.Text	String representation. The date and time will be expressed using the local datetime settings of the computer executing the code. For example, U.S. computers will typically list the month number first, while Europe will list the day of the month first. Zone and DST information are not included in this output. If the time is in a different zone, the value is displayed in the time of that zone, not the corresponding local time.
LCDatetime.Value	LotusScript® Variant containing a datetime. The value is returned in the time zone specified by the Zone property (not the user's local time). Note: The LotusScript® variant does not contain information about time zone and Daylight Savings Time. To copy a value from one LCDatetime to another without losing information, use the LCDatetime.Copy method.
