FILE.date

[hcater]

Is there a way to convert FILE.date to a format that is understood by class DATE?

I've tried using create DATE.make_by_ordered_compact_date(file.date) but it doesn't give me what I would expect as a result.

Thanks in advance,
Hubert

Dear Hubert,

The date is in seconds since EPOCH. So you need to add that number to
a DATE_TIME instance set to EPOCH to get the proper DATE_TIME instance
matching the file's date.

Thanks Manu and it looks like using 'DATE_TIME.make_from_epoch' got me to what I was after.
