Not to worry,
DateToInt is not a function, it's a macro that converts the structure to an
Int16. There is also an accompanying macro for the TimeType structure.
They're both in DateTime.h and fairly straight forward.
//************************************************************
//* Date and Time macros
//***********************************************************
// Convert a date in a DateType structure to an UInt16.
#define DateToInt(date) (*(UInt16 *) &date)
// Convert a date in a DateType structure to a signed int.
#define TimeToInt(time) (*(Int16 *) &time)
Hope that helps,
