Big Thx,  
I have read all but no answer  
how to convert to data any “value”:

all is nice :  
Dates.DateTime(“2016-05-02 14:41:59”,“yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS”)  
2016-05-02T14:41:59  
point=Dates.DateTime(“2016-05-02 14:41:59”,“yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS”)  
2016-05-02T14:41:59  
mypoint=Dates.value(moment)  
63597883319000

But what to convert to data “mypoint” ?  
DateTime(mypoint)  
156422328-04-17T06:00:34.048 ?

DateTime(mypoint)  
156422328-04-17T06:00:34.048 ?  
Some sugestion ?

Does `convert(DateTime, mypoint)` do what you want?

If that’s true then it should probably be fixed. I took an “educated guess” (otherwise known as trying a few things that sometimes work).

My way :  
open julia\_documentation\_0.5.1\_pre.pdf  
CTL+f  
paste (|convert(DateTime)  
empty result 🙂
