Hello,
Trade.EntryDateTime in 5.28.1 reports date in 64 bit format
instead of 32 bit expected by DateTimeToStr.
Will be fixed in next beta.
Best regards,

Subject: [amibroker] Re: Help with
converting DateTimes in CBT
Really
weird that it works for you, and not for me. I can't think of any other
setting that could possibly affect this. And it's not just dumping to file
that does not work. As a test, I can't add a datetime as a custom metric to
the backtester report. The string shows up as "Invalid DateTime". If I try to
add it as a number, it shows up as
"0.0":
EntryDate =
Trade.EntryDateTime;
EntryDateStr =
DateTimeToStr(EntryDate);
Trade.AddCustomMetric(
"EntryDate" ,EntryDateStr );
Of course I know
that the entry date column already exists in the backtester report. I'm just
doing this as a test, after the dump to file did not work.
Is this a
possible bug in AB 5.28.1?
I don't recall ever having any problems
with DateTime conversions in previous versions, and I've done stuff like this
before.

I had changed my PC system time format to be compatible with some _vbscript_
programs I needed to run. That might be the culprit, although DateTime works
fine within Amibroker itself. It's only when I try to dump to file that it
gets screwed up.

inconsistent environment settings between AmiBroker generating the date and
whatever you're using to open the generated file (e.g. American form vs.
Australian)?

Everything works except converting the DateTimes to strings. When it
