Lotus notes date in XML export `20151222T081838,00-05`

I'm exporting Notes data with the Java API (I'm using the save as xml function for a document)

My dates are coming out like this:

<item name='dat_deleted'>
    <datetime>20151222T081838,00-05</datetime>
</item>

What is the 00-05 at the end of the date? Is that the TZ off set (i.e. this means GMT - 5 hours) or what?

Solution

  • datetime (Domino DTD)

    The two digits after the comma (00) are hundredths of a second. The -05 is the offset from UTC. But the time zone offset can be 4 digits -- presumably for zones with offsets in half hour increments, like India.
