Argument Reference

Name	Type	Required	Default	Description	Values
dt_string	string	Yes
pop_conversion	string	No	standard	- standard: function does no conversion. - pop: specifies that the date/time string is in POP format, which includes the local time of the sender and a time-zone offset from UTC.
