int SetDateTime( int nYear**, int** nMonth**, int** nDay**,int** nHour**, int** nMin**, int** nSec );

Return Value

Zero if the value of this COleDateTime object was set successfully; otherwise, 1. This return value is based on the DateTimeStatus enumerated type. For more information, see the SetStatus member function.

Parameters

nYear, nMonth, nDay, nHour, nMin, nSec

Indicate the date and time components to be copied into this COleDateTime object.

Remarks

See the following table for bounds for the parameter values:

Parameter Bounds
nYear 100 – 9999
nMonth 1 – 12
nDay 1 – 31
nHour 0 – 23
nMin 0 – 59
nSec 0 – 59

The actual upper bound for nDay values varies based on the month and year. For months 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, and 12, the upper bound is 31. For months 4, 6, 9, and 11, it is 30. For month 2, it is 28, or 29 in a leap year.
