system.tag.storeTagHistory Cannot coerce value into date

I'm using the system.tag.storeTagHistory example at the bottom of the page. I can get it to work when I let it insert the current time. I want to insert a time value I'm reading from a CSV file.

[code]import datetime

histProv = "hp_Energy"
tagProv = "tp_Energy"
paths = ["EnergyMeters/Board A/MA-44-Test/_kWh"]
values = [ 15]
q = 192

The following line inserts the value with current time. It works.

system.tag.storeTagHistory(histProv, tagProv, paths, values)

#If we try to specify the time (as below) we get an error ...
date = system.date.getDate(2017, 2, 15)
histDate = system.date.setTime(date, 15, 04, 44)
system.tag.storeTagHistory(histProv, tagProv, paths, values, q, histDate)[/code]
Error message is:

What am I doing wrong?

Your quality and timestamp need to be lists.

Thanks, Kathy. That seems to work.

For anyone else …

[code]import datetime

histProv = “hp_Energy”
tagProv = “tp_Energy”
paths = [“EnergyMeters/Board A/MA-44-Test/_kWh”]
values = [15]
q = [192]

The following line inserts the value with current time. It works.

system.tag.storeTagHistory(histProv, tagProv, paths, values)

#If we try to specify the time (as below) we get an error …
date = system.date.getDate(2017, 2, 15)
histDate = [system.date.setTime(date, 15, 13, 44)]
system.tag.storeTagHistory(histProv, tagProv, paths, values, q, histDate)[/code]
