Examples

The following example shows how to determine the database value for the specified date and time string. The data type of the database field is Date/Time (old style).
```
    arsdate -i "09/01/99 04:00:00"

    09/01/99 04:00:00 -> 936158400
```
In the example, you could use the database value to search a Date/Time (old style) field in the database with an SQL string. For example:
```
    arsdoc get -i "WHERE somedate=936158400" ...
```
The following example shows how to determine the date and time string for the specified database value. The data type of the database field is Date/Time (old style). The result is shown using the default display format.
```
    arsdate -i 936158400

    936158400 -> 09/01/99 04:00:00
```
The following example shows how to determine the database value for the specified date and time string. The data type of the database field is Date/Time (TZ) (old style). The ARSDATE program adjusts the time part of the result for the local time zone.
```
    arsdate -z "09/01/99 04:00:00"

    09/01/99 04:00:00 -> 936180000
```
If you were to run the same command on a server in the Eastern time zone, the result would be:
```
    arsdate -z "09/01/99 04:00:00"

    09/01/99 04:00:00 -> 936187200
```
