DESCRIPTION

The _retts() function returns a character string in the format "YYYYMMDDHHMMSS" to Recital as a Recital datetime type. The DATE_TTOS() function can be used to convert a datetime stored in a DATETIME structure to a string format.

EXAMPLE

The following example evaluates the first parameter passed to a string and then returns the result.

Example Recital program:

m_datetime=datetime()
m_datetime=datetime_con(m_datetime)
return

Example 'C' function:

#include "dbapi.h"
 
dbapi_datetime_con()
{
    char	datetime[15];
 
    if ( _parinfo(1) == API_TTYPE ) {
       strcpy( datetime, _parts(1));
    } else {
       strcpy( datetime, "");
    }
 
    _retts (datetime );
}
