Description
The CTOT() function is the character to datetime conversion function. It converts the character expression specified to a datetime variable. The character expression must be correctly formatted based on the current SET DATE, SET MARK, SET SECONDS and SET CENTURY settings. For example, the default settings, SET DATE AMERICAN, SET SECONDS ON and SET CENTURY ON, require a datetime in the format "MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS AM/PM". If <expC> is an invalid datetime format the CTOT() function will return an empty datetime.
Example
mdate = ctot("01/21/2004 01:44:44 PM") ? mdate 01/21/2004 01:44:44 PM ? type("mdate") T
