Date/Time |
SYNTAX | DateTime() |
RETURNS | ARRAY |
FUNCTION | Returns array of encoded date/time values suitable for using with AddColumn and formatDateTime constant
to produce date time formated according to your system settings.
VERSION 5.27 and above: It is important to understand that DateTime is not a simple number but rather bitset and two datetime values can only be reliably compared for equlity or inequality using == or != operators. Any other comparisions (less than/greater then) using normal operators > < can lead to wrong results, therefore to compare two datetime numbers you should use DateTimeDiff( arg1, arg2 ) which will return positive values if arg1 > arg2 and negative values if arg1 < arg2. |
EXAMPLE | 1. Simple date/time column
2. Example (produces signal file accepted by various other programs):
