DateCutExpression (classic-core 9.3.0.0-424 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.pentaho.reporting.engine.classic.core.function.AbstractExpression
- - org.pentaho.reporting.engine.classic.core.function.DateCutExpression

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable, Expression
```
public class DateCutExpression
extends AbstractExpression
```
Deprecated.
The VariableDateExpression is much better suited for this purpose.

Prunes a date in a calendar-unware way. This method can be used to zero the milli-seconds or seconds and so on from a date-object. For more complex operations, the .VariableDateExpression should be used instead.
This expression simply executes a integer division followed by a integer multiplication on the milliseconds since 01-01-1970. For a factor of 1000, this sets the milliseconds to zero.
