Subject: Re: Datetime format with elog client 

Hi Alan,

I have no idea if this helps but the Date and Time formats in the config file internally interconnect, as I discovered in trying to define them separately.  Define one, and the other is defined.

I only mention this as I spent some hours trying to sort out the issue, only to learn it was a "feature" that Stefan didn't want to correct as it may affect too many others.  I can understand that, and made a different solution to what I wanted to do.

UPDATE:

As I continue to test and troubleshoot this problem I noticed something peculiar: the Datetime defined field that the client is rejecting when I attempt a record insert is listed as a Required attribute. However, when I just remove it from the Required list the record including the epoch time is inserted without any problems.

I am now unsure if my configuration is deficient somewhere, vs a problem with the client program code.

What is the input format expected by the elog client for a required Datetime defined field when inserting a record? (Eg: October 26, 2016 = ? in the field's data parameter).

I have read some prior posts on this and the indication is that the input needs to use epoch time, however even when I enter 1477493161 or 0 the client still flags the variable data as missing. If this is in fact the format I shoud be using then I can provide a sample input and output message to illustrate my problem.
