Strange timestamp-format in Dynamic Configuration

Question

Hi all,
In the Dynamic Configuration Section I can retrieve the name and timestamp of the inputfile I use. But the timestamp is in a format I don't quite understand.
For instance, the last changedate of the inputfile is 24-06-2008, 10:58. In the Dynamic Configuration section I find the timestamp "20080624T035800Z". There seems to be a difference of 5 hours here, and I have no idea what the "Z" on the last position means.
How can I convert this timestamp from the Dyn.Conf. to the actual timestamp?
Thanks,
William

You can use subString to get the desired output.
There is no such Java Function available for you.
even TimeStamp differs your output
function myudf(String a, Container container)
//input is yyyymmddThhmmssZ
String year=a.subString(0,4);
String mon=a.subString(4,2);
String date=a.subString(6,2);
String hour=a.subString(9,2);
String min=a.subString(11,2);
String sec=a.subString(13,2);
// output is dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm:ss
String ret=date"-"mon"-"year" "hour":"min":"+sec;
return ret;
