expression
An expression that returns a value of one of the following built-in data types: DATE, TIMESTAMP, or a valid character string representation of a date or timestamp that is not a CLOB. In a Unicode database, if a supplied argument is a graphic string (except DBCLOB), it is first converted to a character string before the function is executed.

The result of the function is INTEGER. The result can be null; if the argument is null, the result is the null value.
