Can anyone explain Datetime management codeunit 416?

Waldo

First of all, this codeunit does not exist anymore in 5.0 . If it was replaced or not, I don't know.

Second, the functions are just calculation-functions which can help you working with dates, times and decimal representations of datetimes (any datetime can be representated as a decimal).

For example:
DateTime: will give you the datetime-decimal of a combination date and time... .
Datetime2Time: returns a time from a datetime-decimal variable.
Datetime2Date: returns a date from a datetime-decimal variable.
Datetime2Text: returns the datetime-decimal in text format.
Text2Datetime: converts the text into the datetime-decimal.

As Waldo said, Codeunit 416 Datetime Mgt. has been removed as of NAV 5.00

The C/AL functions CREATETIME, DT2TIME and DT2DATE should be used instead.
