Convert time to double and vice versa - MetaTrader 4 Library | MT4 EA Download - MetaTrader 4 Resources

I find these little functions very useful when trying to pass datetimes through global variables.

You can use this to save the value

 globalVariableSet (name, TimeToDouble(DateTime));

and

 Date and time date_time=DoubleToTime( global variable acquisition (name));

when you want to get back the value.
