Dear experts! Prompt to the beginner in the Datetime library! after setting the date and time, should the time change or is it static? or am I doing something wrong? It is possible that you need a real-time clock module!? Or can be without him?

If you are talking about xod/datetime, it only provides a date/time data structure and ways to convert to/from that structure. To get current time, you would need a real-time clock module and code to set/query it.
