Converts the specified representation into its duration value. While the duration data type of the XML Schema language allows to also specify year and month fields, such representations cannot be converted to durations. Consequently, only the derived data type 'dayTimeDuration' of the XML Schema language is supported here, where all representations with year or month fields are excluded. For decimal fractions, digits representing less than one millisecond are disregarded.
