LSParseDateTime

Question

I have a Problem with parsing dates. Why does #LSParseDateTime(Now())# produce an error while #LSIsDate(Now())# answers with 'YES' ? locale is German (Standard)My ColdFusion Code: Now() : #Now()#
LSIsDate(Now()): #LSIsDate(Now())#
LSParseDateTime(Now()): #LSParseDateTime(Now())#
Output: Now() : {ts '2013-05-15 12:56:27'} LSIsDate(Now()): YES LSParseDateTime(Now()): The web site you are accessing has experienced an unexpected error.Please contact the website administrator. {ts '2013-05-15 12:56:27'} is an invalid date or time string. The error occurred in E:\InetPub\wwwroot ests\OP\emptime.cfm: line 7169 : Now() : #Now()#
70 : LSIsDate(Now()): #LSIsDate(Now())#
71 : LSParseDateTime(Now()): #LSParseDateTime(Now())#
72 : How can this be and how to solve this problem???????

Now() returns a date object. LSParseDateTime expects a string that looks like a date as expressed in your current locale, e.g. "31-12-2013" or "12-31-2013" etc.

What are you trying to do? - as Now() is already a date object, there's no reason I can see why you'd use ParseDateTime / LSParseDateTime to try and convert it into a date.

	Now() : #Now()# <br>
	LSIsDate(Now()): #LSIsDate(Now())# <br>
	LSParseDateTime(Now()): #LSParseDateTime(Now())# <br>

{ts '2013-05-15 12:56:27'} is an invalid date or time string.
