Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Firstly a huge thanks to the people involved with the Picomite project. It is fantastic to be able to run basic programs on the Raspberry Pi Pico.
I am trying to run a GPS clock and display it on a LCD. I have been mostly successful. However I have an issue that I can't overcome and I hope someone can help.
I cannot get the datetime command to function. If I use datetime$(NOW) it functions OK. But if I use datetime$(n) then it tells me that the value is invalid.
Following are the commands that I have tried and the result.
> PRINT datetime$(NOW)

> PRINT datetime$(0)
Error : 0 is invalid (valid is -2147483648 to 2147483647)
>
> PRINT datetime$(2147483647)
Error : 2147483647 is invalid (valid is -2147483648 to 2147483647)

> PRINT datetime$(-2147483648)
Error : -2147483648 is invalid (valid is -2147483648 to 2147483647)
