Need seconds past since 1970

[[Deleted]]

In the Documentation it tells me that datetime represents the number of seconds past since 1970. That's exactly what I want. BUT when I attempt to put the seconds past since 1970 into a variable it gives me an error.

int _TheSeconds;

_TheSeconds = datetime;

That gives me an error.

All I want is the total seconds past since 1970.

Thanks for any help!

you mean this i think - "datetime" is a 'datatype' u give to identifier:

datetime _TheSeconds;

_TheSeconds = TimeCurrent();

maybe u read mql4 book ? - it ans such things...

Best
