Win32::SqlServer::DTS::DateTime - DateTime Perl object built from Win32::OLE Variant values
use Win32::SqlServer::DTS::DateTime; use Win32::OLE::Variant; my $variant = Variant( VT_DATE, "April 1 99" ); my $date = Win32::SqlServer::DTS::DateTime->new($variant);
Extends the DateTime class constructor (new method) to create a DateTime object that is equal to a Win32::OLE::Variant object.
Win32::OLE::Variant
Some classes in DTS distribution have methods that returns date/time values, but as Variants. Win32::SqlServer::DTS::DateTime objects are used as substitutes.
DTS
Win32::SqlServer::DTS::DateTime
Most attributes returned as date/time variants from DTS API original classes are read-only, so beware that changing a Win32::SqlServer::DTS::DateTime object attribute because, as long as it seems to work, it will not save the state in the DTS package: the Win32::SqlServer::DTS::DateTime is "disconnected" from the original date/time variant.
Nothing.
Expects a Win32::OLE::Variant date object as a parameter.
MSDN on Microsoft website and MS SQL Server 2000 Books Online are a reference about using DTS' object hierarchy, but you will need to convert examples written in VBScript to Perl code.
DateTime.
Win32::OLE::Variant.
