Parameters

The method has the following parameter:

Str

Specifies the string to be converted to a value storing date and time. The Str parameter must use the current locale’s date/time format. In the US, this is commonly MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS format. Specifying AM or PM as part of the time is optional, as are the seconds. Use 24-hour time (7:45 PM is entered as 19:45, for example) if AM or PM is not specified. If Str does not contain a valid date and time, StrToDateTime raises an exception.

Result Value

The integral part of the StrToDateTime method’s return value is the number of days that have passed since 12/30/1899. The fractional part of this value is fraction of a 24-hour day that has elapsed.

Remarks

This method is obsolete. It is supported for backward compatibility only. To convert a string to a date and time value, use the aqConvert.StrToDateTime method.
