Converts a value of datetime type (number of seconds since 01.01.1970) into a structure variable MqlDateTime.

);Parameters
- dt
[in] Date value to convert.
- dt_struct
[out] Variable of structure type MqlDateTime.
Return Value
True if successful, otherwise false. To get information about the error, call the GetLastError() function.
Example:
void OnStart()
{
//--- get the last known time of the server, declare the date/time structure and fill in the structure fields
datetime time=TimeCurrent();
MqlDateTime tm ={};
if(!TimeToStruct(time,tm))
Print("TimeToStruct() failed. Error ", GetLastError());
//--- display the obtained server time and the result of filling the MqlDateTime structure using TimeToStruct() in the log
