<h3>CreateDateTime Example</h3>

<CFIF IsDefined("form.year")>
Your date value, generated with CreateDateTime:
<CFSET yourDate = CreateDateTime(form.year, form.month, form.day,
form.hour, form.minute, form.second)>

<cfoutput>
<ul>
   <li>Formatted with CreateDate: #CreateDate(form.year, form.month, form.day)#
   <li>Formatted with CreateDateTime: #CreateDateTime(form.year, form.month,
form.day, form.hour, form.minute, form.second)#
   <li>Formatted with CreateODBCDate: #CreateODBCDate(yourDate)#
   <li>Formatted with CreateODBCDateTime: #CreateODBCDateTime(yourDate)#
</ul>

<p>The same value can be formatted with DateFormat:
<ul>
   <li>Formatted with CreateDate and DateFormat: 
      #DateFormat(CreateDate(form.year, form.month, form.day), "mmm-dd-yyyy")#
   <li>Formatted with CreateDateTime and DateFormat: 
      #DateFormat(CreateDateTime(form.year, form.month, form.day,
form.hour, form.minute, form.second))#
   <li>Formatted with CreateODBCDate and DateFormat: 
      #DateFormat(CreateODBCDate(yourDate), "mmmm d, yyyy")#
   <li>Formatted with CreateODBCDateTime and DateFormat: 
      #DateFormat(CreateODBCDateTime(yourDate), "d/m/yy")#
</ul>
</cfoutput>
