Jeff,
I just did it like this. Do you forsee any problems?
Well, what is the output? Do you foresee a problem? The LabVIEW Help is quite clear on the format. The very first sentence of the Help file for the Format Date Time String provide a link to the codes: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361H-01/glang/codes_for_time_format_str/

How to Convert Time Stamp to String for Filename use

I'm writing an Labview application in which I would like to convert pull time stamp infor from Time Stamp VI and convert to string so I can use to append as part of filename.
The fomat that I want may look something like basefilename081208_1300. This would represent a file name that has elements consisting of the date 08/12/08 and 13:00 hours zulu.

Hello:
Use the Format Date/Time String VI, and use as the format string the following: %d%m%y_%H%M
This way you'll get the date string you want.
Then concatenate the output to other strings you need to name your file.
I've attached an screenshot.
Hope this helps.

Error when converting time stamp in date time time zone CST in IC

Hi Experts,
We have recently upgraded from CRM 5.0 to CRM 2007. We are using IC WEB Employee interaction center.
so when agent create service ticket in interaction center and close the ticket on same day we are getting an error saying Error when converting time stamp in date time time zone CST.
we thought there may be problem while installing SAP CRM by basis team in time zone, but we did not find any problem.
So please advice how to resolve this issue.
Regards,
Teja

Hi Teja,
I saw a similar message, and it was resolved by adding a timezone to the user profile defaults tab in SU3. I believe the system has been configured to convert between users' timezone and the system timezone, therefore it needs to know each users' timezone.

Converting time stamp to double

Hello,
I am currently using the write to spreadsheet file.vi to save data.
It looks something like this:
I also want to add the date and time stamp into the saved data but do not know a way of converting a date and time stamp to 'double format'. When the date and time stamp is in teh double format I can easily concatenate the data stream with the 'date and time' in a 2-D array.
Thanks,
Nevica

Converting time stamp in waveform to seconds

Hello,
I would like to convert the time stamp in a waveform (coming from 'AI Sample Channel') into seconds. Currently when I read the waveform into a file I get a format that looks like
18:00:47.453000
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated, it seems like this should be easy to do?
Thanks,
Cullen

In the attached example, I compare converting the datestamp to seconds by converting to double, to extended precision and doing a delta directly on the timestamp iteself (then converting).
Running the VI showed the same results (using Win-XP) for all three cases. Unless you have a better OS, then the top example would probably do.
At least the example will show you how to convert to seconds (in 50ms steps for the example), and how to do it using the array directly (polymorphic functions).
Hope it helps,

To convert time stamp (data element ARFCTIME (char 8)) into date and time

Hi All,
ARFCSDATA table stores time stamp value like 41C9EC9D or 41D2DA75 (in char8 format)...how to convert it to date & time?
Thanks in advance.
Vithalprasad

Hi All,
Thanks a lot for your response.
All these FMs are using timestamp which is having length of 14 or 16. .But in this case the field ARFCSDATA-ARFCTIME is having values in char 8 field and these values are in hexa decimal format.
Please pass the information in this regard if you have.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Jayanthi Babu Peruri,
I tried to extract YEAR, MONTH, DAY separately and using

Definitely there will be some STANDARD CONVERSION ROUTINE will be there. But no idea about it.

       V_TS_T    TYPE CHAR16,

       V_DD      TYPE CHAR02.

V_TS_T = V_TS.
CONDENSE V_TS_T.
V_YYYY = V_TS_T.

V_DD   = V_TS_T+6(2).
V_TS_T(2) = V_MM.
V_TS_T+2(2) = V_DD.
V_TS_T+4(4) = V_YYYY.
SKIP 10.
WRITE : /10 V_TS," USING EDIT MASK '____-__-________'.

          /10 V_TS_T USING EDIT MASK '__-__-__________'.
If you want DATE alone, just declare the length of V_TS_T as 10.

How to convert Time stamp format in CR

Dear all Expert,
I have a question. I have a field in my CR which is date time. It show 24.03.2011 03:30:00 in the tables. But when i drop this field in my CR, it become 20,100,906,080,000.00. How to convert it to 24.03.2011 03:30:00 in CR?
Thank You.

Hi Alex,
If cdatetime won't work, try the following by creating a formula . Note : replace your time with database date field i.e. date_4.
WhilePrintingRecords;
Stringvar date4:=totext('24.03.2011 03:30:00');
Numbervar yr;
Numbervar mon;
Numbervar dt;
numbervar hh;
numbervar mm;
numbervar ss;
yr:=tonumber(mid(date4,7,4));
mon:=tonumber(mid(date4,4,2));
dt:=tonumber(left(date4,2));
hh:=tonumber(mid(date4,12,2));
mm:=tonumber(mid(date4,15,2));
ss:=tonumber(mid(date4,18,2));
cdatetime(yr,mon,dt,hh,mm,ss);
Thanks,

Time stamps to string with seconds

Good Day
Im writing a program for my DAQ system. Its required that my
data is saved with hours, mins and secs. The get date/time
string VI seems to only output a string with the date and with
hours and minutes.
How would I include the seconds into the outputed string.
Thank You for your time.

The vi has an boolean input 'want seconds' default is FALSE. Wire a TRUE and your done
For a more flexible output there is also the
Format Date/Time String Function
Owning Palette: String Functions
Requires: Base Package
Displays a timestamp value or a numeric value as time in the format you specify using time format codes. For example, %c displays locale-specific date/time. Time-related format codes include the following: %X (locale-specific time), %H (hour, 24-hour clock), %I (hour, 12-hour clock), %M (minute), %S (second), %<digit>u (fractional seconds with <digit> precision), and %p (a.m./p.m. flag). Date-related format codes include the following: %x (locale-specific date), %y (year within century), %Y (year including century), %m (month number), %b (abbreviated month name), %d (day of month), and %a (abbreviated weekday name).

Converting time stamp in SECONDS to a calendar date format.. problems

Hello. I'm trying to convert a long interger that represents the number of SECONDS passed since the 1970 date
the number was originally generated by php's mktime() function
one of the numbers I have for example is this : 1126933200
I haven't done the math but this is a date probably around september of 2005.. it's irrelevant anyhow.
I want to convert this to a date format I can use in java. I've tried to create a new date like so :
Date date = new Date(1126933200);
I've also tried it with the calendar method like so :
Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar();
calendar.setTimeInMillis(1126933200);
it was only then that I realized that both these methods require the number of MILLI seconds. So I tried doing a simple multiplication by 1000 on my original number and then I started getting a "integer number too large" error when trying to compile.
so i'm kind of at a loss here.. i figure I could make a function myself that would divide my number in days of 86400 seconds.. and then i'd have to keep in mind the bisectal (sp) and the months with more and less days etc.. but i'm sure there must be an easier way.
and i don't get why a method who's meant to receive a very long number is giving me an error when i try to give one to it.
your help is appreciated as always. thanks

Note you also need to define what timezone that seconds number represents.
With Gregorian it is going to use the local timezone (the code here will anyways). The code using Date is using the UTC timezone.

Try this way:
CONVERT TIME STAMP <tst> TIME ZONE <tz> INTO DATE <d> TIME <t>.
CONVERT DATE <d> TIME <t> INTO TIME STAMP <tst> TIME ZONE <tz>.
<tst> is of type P(8) or P(11) with 7 decimal places
<tz> of type C(6)

Converting UTC time stamp to local time (CET)

Is there a smooth way to convert a time stamp from UTC time into the local time (e.g. CET)?
CONVERT TIME STAMP.... Just converts the timestamp from local time zone to UTC, is there another comand to perform the opposite conversion?
TIA!
/Armin

Hi Armin
The statement does not only convert from local time zone to UTC you can specifiy any timezone:
CONVERT TIME STAMP time_stamp TIME ZONE tz
        INTO [DATE dat] [TIME tim]
        [DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME dst].
The following statement can also be used to convert from date time to timestamp.
CONVERT DATE dat [TIME tim [DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME dst]]
        INTO TIME STAMP time_stamp TIME ZONE tz.

Function module to convert to time stamp format

Hi friends,
can you tell me any function module to convert date and time to time stamp format?
kind regards.

Just use
CONVERT DATE d
TIME t [DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME dst]
INTO TIME STAMP tst
TIME ZONE tz.
look at this example
DATA:
tstamp type timestamp,
d TYPE D VALUE '19971224',
t TYPE T VALUE '235500'.
SET COUNTRY 'US'.
CONVERT DATE d TIME t INTO
TIME STAMP tstamp TIME ZONE 'UTC+12'.
" tstamp : 19971224115500
" (12/24/1997 11:55:00)
CONVERT TIME STAMP tstamp TIME ZONE 'UTC+12' INTO
DATE d TIME t.

how do I add time stamp to my data and call the spreadsheet write VI to append to the excel file ?

Go to Solution.

You have at least two possibilities: One is to do the formatting yourself with string functions and write the data as a text file or an array of strings.
Another is to convert the timestamp to a Double and save it as numeric data. This is only useful if your are going to read the data back into LV and analyze it there, because Excel's numeric representation of date and time is different from that used by LV.
