SetDatetime Method for LCField

This method sets a field value to a supplied LCDatetime value. If the field is not of a datetime data type, Notes® will attempt to convert the supplied value to the data type of the field. If conversion fails, error LCFAIL_INVALID_CONVERT will occur. Datetimes can only be converted to Stream data types.

The data type of the field will not change to date/time because of this operation. It will stay the same type but its value will change.
