Convert 1900/1904 date string to seconds

[Jim from DME]

I have a DLL that gives me seconds elapsed based on the 1900 date system. Labview seems to offer a palette of sub vi's based on the 1904 date system. I need to be able to type a date in a string format like, 3/6/2004, convert it to seconds elapsed on the 1900 scale, and then pass it on to the DLL I interface with. I also have to go in the reverse direction, I have to take a 1900 based number and convert it to a string representing the date. Is there anything already existing that will do this for me? Thanks

Times in LabVIEW are based on 1904. If you need to communicate with the DLL, just add/subtract the number of seconds between 1900-1904. I believe that's 4*365*24*60*60.
