HELP ... How can I make a date out of the long received by LL_AssocGetDate (Livelink LAPI)????

With LL_GetObjectInfo I receive an assoc object,where I can get information out...Call LL_AssocGetInteger(outobjinfo, "ID", TheId)works OK...Call LL_AssocGetDate(outobjinfo, "CreateDate", TheDate)Returns a Long (932039320)...Does anyone know how to make a readable date out of this Date Value Object???I really need to know this, I am Stuck...Many thanks in advance, Tim

Tim, I wrestled with this one too. You didn't specify language, so I'll demonstrate what you have to do in VB:Dim TheLongDate, LivelinkDate, LivelinkDateString As LongDim VBDateString As StringLL_ValueAlloc...status = LL_AssocGetDate(assocname, "CreateDate", TheLongDate)status = LL_ValueSetDate(LivelinkDate, TheLongDate)status = LL_ValueGetFormatted(LivelinkDate, LivelinkDateString)status = LL_ValueGetString(LivelinkDateString, buf, bufLen, outSize)VBDateString = Left$(buf, outSize)LL_ValueFree...So, in short, getting a date that Livelink returns entails these 4 steps:1. Use LL_AssocGetDate and place the value in a long.2. Use LL_ValueSetDate to transfer the value to a livelink date (another long).3. Use LL_GetFormatted to make a livelink string out of it (still a long).4. Use LL_ValueGetString to retrieve the VB string.I usually wrap the last 3 steps in a function that takes a long and returns the date string.-DarrynMorningstar Systems, Inc.dgraham@mstarsys.com
