I need "Ticks As Long" for a Timestamp-ID

[JOTHA]

Hello Forum,

I need "Ticks As Long" for a Timestamp-ID.

Does somebody know how to get "Ticks As Long" as a number?
I tried several times but I always got a Date, a Time, or an Error-Message.

Ticks are Long by default, what exactly do you need to do?

ie: to get the current time ticks value, just use

a=datetime.now

or to get the ticks of a particular date just use

 a=datetime.dateparse("20/12/2000")

Hi Cableguy,

ie: to get the current time ticks value, just use

a=datetime.now

... this is exactly what I needed!
I tried always a=DateTime(Now), that was wrong!

THANK YOU for your very fast help!
