hour(theDate[,value])
Alternatively, use Date.hour.
hour(theDate)
returns the hour element from the theDate date/time expression, which may simply be a date-type attribute value.
hour(theDate,value)
creates a new date based on the theDate expression, but in which the hour is value. theDate is not changed unless theDate is an attribute and the attribute is re-setting itself:
$MyDateA = hour($MyDate,14); $MyDate is unaltered
$MyDate = hour($MyDate,14); $MyDate is changed
Examples. If $MyDate is July 4,2009 09:30, then
$MyDate=hour($MyDate,19);
will change $MyDate to July 4, 2009 19:30.
