A DateTime field may contain a value that is used to represent a particular calendar date and time — specifically, the value stored is the same as that used by Unix and Linux systems to represent dates, which is the number of seconds since January 1, 1970.

This value allows date/time arithmetic to work readily, by merely doing integer arithmetic with the value.

When a DateTime value is interpreted for import, expert, or display in years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds, the current locale is used. The format for import and export can be specified in program settings.
