Date/Time (Timestamp) Types

CTDATETIME is declared as a double type and stores both the date and time. This type is also called a time stamp. The date component of a CTDATETIME value is stored as the value on the left of the decimal point, while the time component is stored as the value on the right side of the decimal point.

FairCom DB API provides functions and methods to manipulate the CTDATETIME type.
