TimeUtilities Object

The TimeUtilities Object allows a user to convert an epoch, specified by a variable or calendar-formatted string, to a different time system. See the Parsing Dates and Times reference for more information about using the TimeUtilites Object.

Users cannot create instances of this type of object. However, users can access instances of this object type that have been created indirectly, for example as children of other objects. Users can also access any static properties and methods on this object type.
