Converting Date and Time Strings Into Numeric Representations

This section describes the Text Utilities routines that you can use to convert date and time strings into numeric representations:

• The InitDateCache function initializes the date cache record, which is used by the StringToDate and StringToTime functions.
• The StringToDate function parses text for a date specification and fills in numeric date information in a LongDateRec record.
• The StringToTime function parses text for a time specification and fills in numeric time information in a LongDateRec record.
