Convert A Datetime Data Type To Epoch Time

[JamesBowen]

I have compliantly for gotten how to convert datetime to epoch (unix time) in ABL code. I know I have done it before but i just can't seam to find it.

Sorted it out! I remember now haven't been doing much ABL code lately.

define variable datetime1 as datetime no-undo.
define variable epoch     as int64  no-undo.

datetime1 = datetime(1,1,1970,0,0,0,0).

epoch = INTERVAL ( NOW, datetime1 , "seconds" ).

message epoch.

I like that one.
