# DateTime Values Printable String Form

The TIBCO FTL library calls print `DateTime` field values as strings. Double-quotes surround the characters of the string.

`DateTime` values print in UTC format, also known as Zulu time or GMT. The ISO-8601 standard requires appending a Z character in this notation.

For example, November 19, 2010 6:50:55 PM PST prints as:

        2010-11-20 02:50:55.000000000Z

`DateTime` printing uses Common Era numbering for years. This system does not include a year zero. So for example, the time 1 second before `0001-01-01 00:00:00.000000000Z` would print as `-0001-12-31 23:59:59.000000000Z`.

`DateTime` printing uses a proleptic Gregorian calendar. That is, when formatting dates earlier than the adoption of the Gregorian calendar, it projects the Gregorian calendar backward beyond its actual invention and adoption.
