	      o $pxdoc
		- Resource identifier of the paradox database as returned by px_new(3).

		returned  as  an  integer  counting  the number of milliseconds starting at midnight. A timestamp ( PX_FIELD_TIMESTAMP) and date (
		PX_FIELD_DATE) are floating point respectively int values counting milliseconds respectively days starting  at	the  beginning	of
		julian calendar. Use the functions px-timestamp2string(3) and px-date2string(3) to convert them into a character representation.
