Current working time Codes to control current working time, which is the absolute time used by the time element meta-characters. The default time is the DSkey's datastore (bucket) time. $V = Set time to the key's actual time (valid time) $C = set time to "Current" wall clock time $X+-n = Add/subtract eXtra hours to current working time (export from ingestor only) $x+-n = Add/subtract extra hours to current working time (preferred over $X) |

Time element codes $A = AM/PM $D = 2 digit day of month $F = Day of the week (Monday, ...) (ingestor export only) $a = Day of the week (Monday, ...) (preferred over $F) $G = set time to GMT (gmt is default) $H = 2 digit hour of day $I = 2 digit minute of hour $L = set time to LOCAL (gmt is default) $M = 2 digit month $W = Worldscape time $Y = 4 digit year $h = 1 or 2 digit hour of day $d = 1 or 2 digit day $m = 1 or 2 digit month $y = 2 digit year $f = Day of week abbeviated $T = Month name $t = Month name abbreviated |

Time element modification codes The time element codes: $Y,$M,$D,$H,$I,$S,$B can be modified using the following extended syntax: $%nH where %n indicates some modules value such as: $%6H %6 would produce hours of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 $#nH where #n indicates some granularity value such as: $#6H #6 would produce hours of 0, 6, 12, 18 |
