Parameters

DateTime
A string that specifies the date/time value to format.
DateLocale

Warning  In some cases, the DataFunctions.ConvertDateTimeString method returns NULL when converting a string representation of the Date to the Date VARIANT type for Latvian and Bulgarian locales. To avoid this problem, remove the constant string added at the end of the Date Represantion String according to the Regional Settings.
