KEY Command (Date and Time Formats)
The time and date KEY command formats have been deprecated. The
TIMESTR command should be used instead (see page 201).
Note: Other KEY commands formats may still be used (see page
138).
Table 21 lists deprecated date formats, the KEY commands, and the
equivalent TIMESTR format:
Date Format Key
Command
TIMESTR replacement
yymmdd [DT1] $dt = TimeStr(Seconds(), “%y%m%d”)
yy.mm.dd [DT2] $dt = TimeStr(Seconds(), “%y.%m.%d”)
yyddd [DT3] $dt = TimeStr(Seconds(), “%y%j”)
yy.ddd [DT4] $dt = TimeStr(Seconds(), “%y.%j”)
yy/mm/dd [DT5] $dt = TimeStr(Seconds(), “%y/%m/%d”)
mmddyy [DT6] $dt = TimeStr(Seconds(), “%m%d%y”)
mm.dd.yy [DT7] $dt = TimeStr(Seconds(), “%m.%d.%y”)
mm/dd/yy [DT8] $dt = TimeStr(Seconds(), “%m/%d/%y”)
dddyy [DT9] $dt = TimeStr(Seconds(), “%j%y”)
ddd.yy [DTA] $dt = TimeStr(Seconds(), “%j.%y”)
