Published Option
Default Value: %m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S
Valid Values: See table for a complete listing of valid time formats.
Changes Take Effect: After restart
Dependencies: local-time-in-status-table = yes
Specifies the time format of data stored in the StartLocalTime and EndLocalTime fields in the STATUS table. You must set the local-time-in-status-table option to yes to use the time-format option.
The format string consists of one or more codes preceded by a percent sign (%). Character strings that do not begin with % are copied unchanged to strDest.
This option was previously named TimeFormat.
Example:
Suppose you are using the default time format %m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S. If the start time for a particular state is Tuesday, January 1, 1999, at 3 PM and 10 seconds, character data stored in the STARTLOCALTIME field in the STATUS table is stored as 01/01/1999 15:00:10. Changing the format codes for the date in the time-format option to %Y/%m/%d means the date is stored in the international date format as 1999/01/01. Spaces can also be used. For example, %Y %m %d would store as 1999 01 01.
