DateTime

Represents both a date and a time. The page input for a DateTime is a textfield, the expected format is dd/MM/yyyy H:mm. The page output for a DateTime shows the DateTime formatted with dd/MM/yyyy H:mm. Use the format function to customize the output format.

The default value for DateTime properties and variables is null.

The DateTime type is compatible with the Time and Date types. A DateTime can be cast to these types.
