How to Get Seconds Ticks since 1970

Keywords:     TimeDiffSecs

Question:

If a date is given in number of seconds ticked since 1970, is there a function that converts the date to standard time in year, month day format?

Answer:

Here is some sample code. Note that it cannot go past 68 years from 1970 (2038):

seconds=TimeDiffSecs(TimeYmdHms(),"1970:01:01:00:00:00")
Message("Seconds from Jan 01, 1970",seconds)


now=TimeAdd("1970:01:01:00:00:00","00:00:00:00:00:%seconds%")
Message(seconds,now)
