<p>For example, given a time text "1996.07.10 AD at 15:08:56 PDT", if the given fieldPosition.field is UDAT_YEAR_FIELD, the offsets fieldPosition.beginIndex and statfieldPositionus.getEndIndex will be set to 0 and 4, respectively. </p>
<p>Notice that if the same time field appears more than once in a pattern, the status will be set for the first occurence of that time field. For instance, formatting a UDate to the time string "1 PM PDT (Pacific Daylight Time)" using the pattern "h a z (zzzz)" and the alignment field DateFormat::TIMEZONE_FIELD, the offsets fieldPosition.beginIndex and fieldPosition.getEndIndex will be set to 5 and 8, respectively, for the first occurence of the timezone pattern character 'z'.</p>

<p>Specifies whether date/time parsing is to be lenient. </p>
<p>With lenient parsing, the parser may use heuristics to interpret inputs that do not precisely match this object's format. Without lenient parsing, inputs must match this object's format more closely.</p>
<p>Note: ICU 53 introduced finer grained control of leniency (and added new control points) making the preferred method a combination of <a class="el" href="classicu_1_1DateFormat.html#a4b40d07638285a47689113a920bedf16" title="Specifies whether encapsulated Calendar date/time parsing is to be lenient.
