Hi Rod,
There is "Soft Timestamp" support for the stringin record in base.
There is also Frank Lenksus' fGetDateStr.c (in the autosave/asApp/src directory, among other places), which makes a date string that is sortable alphanumerically, which is good for including in filenames.

I'm using streamDevice to read string data from a device, and one of the data that it returns is the Unix Epoch time as a floating point value in ASCII string format: TIME_NOW:1522335837.961008 I would like to be able to translate this to a more human readable format. Is there any built-in function in an IOC (3.14.12.5 right now) that I can use to do the conversion? Or, does anyone have a set of reliable CALC record expressions that can be used to get me something like YY:MM:DD-hh:mm:ss in any displayable format? I know the formula to do this has all sorts of quirky exceptions and so on, so I'd like to avoid trying to roll my own if I can avoid it, especially if the facility to do it already exists. Thanks.
