There are a number of bugs that have been fixed on xdmp:parse-dateTime since
6.0-3.
This works in a recent 8.0 build:
xquery version "1.0-ml";
let $startdateTime:="May 28, 2015"
return
fn:format-dateTime((xdmp:parse-dateTime("[MNn] [D1], [Y0001]",
xs:string( $startdateTime ) )), "[Y0001]-[M01]-[D01]" )
ð 2015-05-28

Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] XDMP-PATTERNVALUEMISMATCH: xdmp:parse-dateTime
Ok, so my date input below is "May 28, 2015", but my script below says my
pattern doesn't match. I think it should but according to the comment in
https://docs.marklogic.com/xdmp:parse-dateTime, as of 6.0-3.1 this function
does not round-trip non-numeric values. For example
format-dateTime(current-dateTime(), '[MN]') => JUNE but
xdmp:parse-dateTime('[MN]', 'JUNE') throws XDMP-PATTERNVALUEMISMATCH.
I need to convert a date like "May 28, 2015" to something like 2015-05-28 so
that I can use it to compare dates as a part of a query. What am I missing?
Here's a scriptlet that illustrates the issue.
xquery version "1.0-ml";
declare namespace html = "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";;
declare namespace local="this";
declare function local:convert-date($startdateTime as xs:string) as node()*{
fn:format-dateTime((xdmp:parse-dateTime("[MNn]
[D1], [Y0001]",
xs:string(
$startdateTime ) )),
"[Y0001]-[M01]-[D01]" )
};
declare variable $startdateTime as xs:string external;
let $startdateTime:="May 28, 2015"
(:
return $startdateTime
:)
let $this-start-date:= local:convert-date($startdateTime)
return $this-start-date
