Bugzilla bug 166758 [Regression] Link to a Date type parameter cause error.[07][0705]

 

-          Description:

In DtE, a data set parameter value is stored in String format. When we accept a parameter value from outside, we will first convert it to a string and then convert it back to it original value when it is actually used (say, be set to IQuery of ODA).

 

To ensure a seamless Object->String->Object converting, when meet a Date value, DtE use pattern “yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.S z” to convert it to a fixed date format string. However, as we include timezone info in the formatting, this sometimes leads to problem, for certain timezone info in string, say, “2006-12-12 08:00:00.0 CTT”, can not be parsed by BIRT’s date parsing util.

 

As timezone information is actually not import in DtE, we use another pattern “yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.S” when do the date formatting. The bug is so that fixed.
