    Description

    DateTimeToStr returns a string representation of DateTime using the formatting specified in ShortDateFormat and LongTimeFormat. It corresponds to a call to FormatDateTime('c',DateTime) (see formatchars).

    Note that if the time part is 0 (i.e. midnight), no time is appended.

    Note that on unix systems, the localization support must be enabled explicitly, see Localization.
