IsDateObject

Determine whether a given value or variable reference is a date or dateTime object.

Note that date strings, such as 2021-01-01 and timespans returned from createTimespan() are NOT date objects. The former are strings and the latter are numeric values.

Method Signature

IsDateObject(value=[any])

Arguments

Argument	Type	Required	Description	Default
value	any	true	Value to test for date object-ness

Examples

Check if date is a date OBJECT, not just a date string

<bx:script>
	date = IsDateObject( now() );
	writeOutput( "Can string be converted to a date/time value : " & date );
</bx:script>

Result: Can string be converted to a date/time value : YES
