DateTimeUtil is not working

Hi,

I wonder why this code:

DateTimeUtil::toStr(DateTimeUtil::minValue());

does not produce minimum allowed datetime value for utcdatetime EDT. This code does not return anything except for a blank string. Why is this so? You can try this as an example:

static void Job7(Args _args)
{
;
info(DateTimeUtil::toStr(DateTimeUtil::minValue()));
}

Thanks!

Thanks! I checked the database in SQL Server and found out that the minimum date is 1900-01-01 00:00:00.000.

Hi DJRM,

The minimum value is a date which is not known by the kernel. It always shows as an empty date.

Also the next line will not return anything:

info(strFmt("%1",DateTimeUtil::minValue()));

Any other date is returning a value, also the maxValue().
