DateTime - Timestamp

ODABA supports timestamp values with a precision of 1/100 second. In order to convert ODABA timestamp values to other time formats, the class provides a number of conversion functions.

ODABA timestamp values have to be interpreted by the application, i.e. ODABA does not request specific time values (as UTC or local time). However, in many places local time is considered as default. In order to support conversion to standard time formats, the class provides conversion functions to standard Unix timestamp, which provides the number of seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00. Still, it is up to the application interpreting the Unix timestamp value as local or standard time value.
