By default, the xsd:dateTime, xsd:date, and xsd:time types are mapped to character string variables. However, if the -numDateTime command line option is selected, or a <ctype>numeric</ ctype> configuration item is associated with a date/time type, then a reference to the following numeric structure is used:

   typedef struct OSXSDDateTime {
      OSINT32 year;
      OSUINT8 mon; /* 1 <= mon <= 12 */
      OSUINT8 day; /* 1 <= day <= 31 */
      OSUINT8 hour; /* 0 <= hour <= 23 */
      OSUINT8 min; /* 0 <= min <= 59*/
      OSREAL sec;
      OSBOOL tz_flag; /* is tzo explicitely set? */
      OSINT32 tzo; /* -1440 <= tzo <= 1440 */
   } OSXSDDateTime;

For C++, a class is derived from this type (OSXSDDateTimeClass) which provide constructors and helper methods to manipulate date/time values. For example, conversions to and from system time types such as time_t and struct tm are supported. See the XBinder C/C++ Run-time Reference Manual for more details.

The general mapping is as follows:

XSD type:

   <xsd:simpleType name="TypeName">
      <xsd:restriction base="xsd:dateTime"/>
   </xsd:simpleType>

Generated C code:

   typedef OSXSDDateTime TypeName;

Generated C++ code:

   class TypeName : public OSXSDDateTimeClass {
      ...
   } ;
