All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable, Attribute, PrintJobAttribute

public final class DateTimeAtProcessing
extends DateTimeSyntax
implements PrintJobAttribute

Class DateTimeAtProcessing is a printing attribute class, a date-time attribute, that indicates the date and time at which the Print Job first began processing.

To construct a DateTimeAtProcessing attribute from separate values of the year, month, day, hour, minute, and so on, use a Calendar object to construct a Date object, then use the Date object to construct the DateTimeAtProcessing attribute. To convert a DateTimeAtProcessing attribute to separate values of the year, month, day, hour, minute, and so on, create a Calendar object and set it to the Date from the DateTimeAtProcessing attribute.

IPP Compatibility: The information needed to construct an IPP "date-time-at-processing" attribute can be obtained as described above. The category name returned by getName() gives the IPP attribute name.
