Returns true
if the first argument represents an earlier instant in time
than the second argument.
xs:dateTime
values. Also
used in the definition of the "ge" operator.op:dateTime-less-than
( $arg1
as xs:dateTime
,$arg2
as xs:dateTime
xs:boolean
If either $arg1
or $arg2
has no timezone component, the
effective value of the argument is obtained by substituting the implicit timezone from
the dynamic evaluation context.
The function then returns true
if and only if the effective value of
$arg1
is less than the effective value of $arg2
according
to the algorithm defined in section 3.2.7.4 of
Order relation on dateTime for xs:dateTime
values with
timezones. Otherwise the function returns false
.
