How can I programmatically set start_date_time in TestStand?

[Jenn2021]

There are times when we might use TestStand to load data to the database for a test which occurred previously.  In this case the start_date_time would need to be set programmatically.  Is there a way to do this?

Hi, Can you elaborate your requirements bit more.

I figured it out.  Posting solution here to support community.

From within Main sequence you can set time in this way:

RunState.Root.Locals.StartDate.Year = Locals.Year,
RunState.Root.Locals.StartDate.Month = Locals.Month,thin M
RunState.Root.Locals.StartTime.Hours = Locals.hour,
RunState.Root.Locals.StartTime.Minutes = Locals.minute,
RunState.Root.Locals.StartTime.Seconds = Locals.second,
RunState.Root.Locals.StartTime.milliseconds = Locals.millisecond
