If you are talking about Java then use the SimpleDateFormat class to format. If you are talking about W3 Schema then it only accepts the "colon" date format. If you need it without you would need to store it in an xs:string with regular expression restriction rather than a xs:dateTime. If need be you can massage it from one to the other in XSL.

Our schema uses Here is our schema for datetime: <xs:simpleType name="UTCTimestamp"> <xs:annotation> <xs:documentation>String representing Time/date combination represented in UTC (Universal Time Coordinated, also known as ?GMT?) in either YYYYMMDD-HH:MM:SS (whole seconds) or YYYYMMDD-HH:MM:SS.sss (milliseconds) format, colons, dash, and period required. Valid values: * YYYY = 0000-9999, MM = 01-12, DD = 01-31, HH = 00-23, MM = 00-59, SS = 00-60 (60 only if UTC leap second) (without milliseconds). * YYYY = 0000-9999, MM = 01-12, DD = 01-31, HH = 00-23, MM = 00-59, SS = 00-60 (60 only if UTC leap second), sss=000-999 (indicating milliseconds). Leap Seconds: Note that UTC includes corrections for leap seconds, which are inserted to account for slowing of the rotation of the earth. Leap second insertion is declared by the International Earth Rotation Service (IERS) and has, since 1972, only occurred on the night of Dec. 31 or Jun 30. The IERS considers March 31 and September 30 as secondary dates for leap second insertion, but has never utilized these dates. During a leap second insertion, a UTCTimestamp field may read "19981231-23:59:59", "19981231-23:59:60", "19990101-00:00:00". (see http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/leapsec.html) </xs:documentation> </xs:annotation> <xs:restriction base="xs:dateTime" /> </xs:simpleType> <xs:simpleType name="TransactTime_t"> <xs:annotation> <xs:documentation xml:lang="en"> Time of execution/order creation (expressed in UTC (Universal Time Coordinated, also known as "GMT") </xs:documentation> <xs:appinfo> <fm:Xref Protocol="FIX" name="TransactTime" tag="60" datatype="UTCTimestamp" ComponentType="Field" StdAbbrev="TxnTm" Category="" CategoryAbbrev="" /> </xs:appinfo> </xs:annotation> <xs:restriction base="UTCTimestamp" /> </xs:simpleType> I believe that internally it uses XmlCalender class to set the value for transaction time. Here is my implementation: public void setTransactionTime(Calendar transactionTime) { if (transactionTime != null) { transactionTime.clear(Calendar.MILLISECOND); _message.setTxnTm(transactionTime); } else if ( _message.isSetTxnTm() ) { _message.unsetTxnTm(); } } We need this field in the format of 2008-06-30T13:26:20-0500 But I am getting the value in the format of 2008-06-30T13:26:20-05:00 I would like to remove colon (:) from timezone difference. Does any body have any idea how to get datetime field in custom format?
