Does anyone know how to convert a unix timestamp "1460400862" to a readable datetime. I have looked through the sdk and could not find anything but I may have just missed something. Thanks in advance for any help.

date = CreateObject("roDateTime")
date.FromSeconds(timestamp)

Thanks, that did it. For some reason I didn't think that would work. Oh well, guess I was over complicating it. Thanks again.

Please make me understand....where i am doing mistake. Here is my code.

Fill_time=json.FlightInfoExResult.flights[0].filed_time
Fill_time1=Fill_time.ToStr()
Fill_time2=Fill_time1.trim()
now_ok=StrToI(Fill_time2)
date = CreateObject("roDateTime")
EpochToHumanReadableTime=date.FromSeconds(now_ok)
Print"EpochToHumanReadableTime========>>>>>>"EpochToHumanReadableTime

on Telnet i am getting:-
Print"EpochToHumanReadableTime========>>>>>>"<UNINITALIZED>

Add more prints (after every statement if you have to).

i tried the same thing but it is always showing in telnet <UNINITIALIZED>

sub timeConverter()
   
    date = CreateObject("roDateTime")
    seconds = date.FromSeconds(1460400862)
    ?seconds
end sub

i am trying to call the function from init()

Please tell me what i am doing wrong

You're setting seconds to the return value of a function that doesn't return a value, hence the <UNINITIALIZED>.  I'm not sure what you're trying to do since you already know the seconds (1460400862).  You could do this, but it doesn't get you anywhere:

date = CreateObject("roDateTime")
date.FromSeconds(1460400862)
seconds = date.asSeconds()
?seconds
