FILETIME_TO_DT

FILETIME_TO_DT 1:

The function "FILETIME_TO_DT" converts the time in FILETIME format to DATE_AND_TIME format (DT). The DT format has a smaller value range than the FILETIME format and only offers second accuracy. For this reason the FILETIME value to be converted is limited. The permitted minimum corresponds to value DT#1970-01-01-00:00:00 and the maximum to value DT#2106-02-06-06:28:15. Milliseconds are not considered in the conversion and are rounded down to the DATE_AND_TIME return value accordingly.

FUNCTION FILETIME_TO_DT : DT

VAR_INPUT

VAR_INPUT
    fileTime : T_FILETIME;
END_VAR

fileTime: The time to be converted in FILETIME format (type: T_FILETIME).

Example:

PROGRAM MAIN
VAR
    fbSystemTime   : GETSYSTEMTIME;
    timeAsFileTime : T_FILETIME;
    timeAsDT       : DT;
END_VAR
fbSystemTime( timeLoDW=>timeAsFileTime.dwLowDateTime, timeHiDW=>timeAsFileTime.dwHighDateTime );
timeAsDT := FILETIME_TO_DT( timeAsFileTime );
