Error description
The EXSLT date:date-time() function is incorrect for timezones that are offset by 30 min, such as India Standard Time (IST) GMT+5:30 or Newfoundland Standard Time (NST, Java: CNT) GMT-3:30. The minute part of the timezone offset is calculated as the remainder of the total offset divided by the number of milliseconds in an hour - which yields a result in milliseconds instead of minutes. This works when the minute offset is 0, but yields 1800000 when it should be 30, as in the following example: 2012-02-29T11:28:32-03:1800000

Problem conclusion
The code was modified to ensure that the offset is calculated in minutes appropriately. This code fix was targeted to be included in the following fix packs: 7.0.0 Fix Pack 5 (v7.0.0.5) 7.5.1 Fix Pack 1 (v7.5.1.1)
