Description

For the Datetime data type, the following defaults apply for partial values:

• If both the date and time have been omitted, the value is assumed to be NULL.
• If the date has been omitted while a time is specified, the day, month and year default to the current day, the current month and the current year, respectively.
• If an incomplete date is specified, a missing day defaults to 1, a missing month defaults to the current month, and a missing year defaults to the current year.

The $datim ProcScript function can be used to convert data to datetime.
