format.
When no mask is specified, ColdFusion MX returns the Java medium date
format for the locale. ColdFusion 5 returns one of two default masks,
depending on the locale:
• For a locale where the date ends with the year, the default mask is
.
dd-mmm-yy
• For a locale where the date begins with the year, the default mask is
.
yyyy-mmm-dd
The date format for English (US) has changed to the Java
medium
standard; for example, "Sept 4, 1998 11:15:16 PM" and "11:15:16 PM Sept.
4, 1998" are valid. However, "23:15:16 4 Sept. 1998" is not valid; for
example,
LSParseDateTime("23:15:16 4 Sept. 2003")
For a list of valid date formats, see the Java documentation for the

index.html.
If you pass an invalid mask (for example,
outputs the invalid characters in both ColdFusion 5 and ColdFusion MX.
However, ColdFusion 5 delimits each character of the output with an

LSTimeFormat("6:39","h:m:s")
• hh:mm:ss
LSTimeFormat("6:39","hh:mm:ss")
• hh:mm:ss t
LSTimeFormat("6:28:26","hh:mm:ss t")

• hh:mm:ss tt
LSTimeFormat("6:28:26","hh:mm:ss tt")

each character of the output with an apostrophe (') character.
When a euro currency is passed into the
ColdFusion MX returns Yes if the locale is a Euro member, and No if not,
independent of the JVM version. With 1.3 level JVMs only, this function
also returns Yes if the currency is in a Euro zone country's pre-Euro
currency format.
In ColdFusion MX, you can pass in dates with the
parameters. These formats include the name of the day (for
