| This method formats the current date into a String. The input is
a long representing the number of milliseconds since Jan. 1, 1970.
The output is a String in the form yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss.ddd GMT.
The purpose of this class is to format date strings without paying
the price of instantiating ResourceBundles and Locales, which the
java.util.Date class does whenever you format a date string.
As a result, the output of this class is not localized, it does
not take the local time zone into account, and it is possible that
it will not be as accurate as the standard Date class. It is OK
to use this method when, for example, formatting timestamps to
write to db2j.LOG, but not for manipulating dates in language
processing.
Parameters:
time - The current time in milliseconds since Jan. 1, 1970 The date formatted as yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss.ddd GMT. |
