util:system-dateTime#0

util:system-dateTime() as xs:dateTime

Returns the current xs:dateTime (with timezone) as reported by the Java method System.currentTimeMillis(). Contrary to fn:current-dateTime, this function is not stable, i.e. the returned xs:dateTime will change during the evaluation time of a query and can be used to measure time differences.

Returns:
xs:dateTime : the current xs:dateTime (with timezone)
