&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Format Date/Time String&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; function displays a timestamp value or a numeric value as time in the format you specify using time format codes.&lt;br /&gt;
{{TOCright}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Usage ==&lt;br /&gt;
This function calculates &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;date/time string&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; by copying &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;time format string&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and replacing each of the time format codes with the corresponding values. For example, the time format string &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;%y%m%d&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; displays timestamp in the format &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;yymmdd&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;. The time format string &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;%y%m%d&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; displays the date January 30, 2014 as 140130.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following list describes some of the caveats to consider when you use this function:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*LabVIEW returns abbreviated weekday and month names as numeric values for systems that do not support abbreviated names, such as Chinese and Korean. &lt;br /&gt;
*The &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;%c&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;%u&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;%x&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;%X&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;%z&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;%Z&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; format codes depend on operating system locale support. The output of these codes is platform dependent. Interpretation of the Daylight Saving Time rule also can vary by platform. &lt;br /&gt;
*The &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;%p&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; format code only takes effect at locales that use the 12-hour time system. &lt;br /&gt;
*Time format codes have leading zeros as necessary to ensure a constant field width. An optional &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;#&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; modifier before the format code letter removes the leading zeros from the following format codes: &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;%#d&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;%#H&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;%#I&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;%#j&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;%#m&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;%#M&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;%#s&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;%#S&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;%#U&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;%#w&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;%#W&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;%#X&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;%#y&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;%#Y&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;. The &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;#&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; modifier does not modify the behavior of any other format codes.&lt;br /&gt;
