subroutine ESMF_TimeSetString(time, timeString, rc)
! !ARGUMENTS:
type(ESMF_Time), intent(inout) :: time
character(*), intent(in) :: timeString
integer, intent(out), optional :: rc
!
! !DESCRIPTION:
! Initializes an {\tt ESMF\_Time} with a set of user-specified string.
!
! The arguments are:
! \begin{description}
! \item[time]
! The object instance to initialize.
! \item[timeString]
! ISO format time string. E.g. 2012-10-24T18:00:00.
! \item[{[rc]}]
! Return code; equals {\tt ESMF\_SUCCESS} if there are no errors.
! \end{description}
!
!EOP

! Assume failure until success
