.SH "DESCRIPTION" 
.PP 
Creates a string representation of a paradox timestamp as specified 
in the parameter \fBformat\fR.  The timestamp must be 
either retrieved with \fBPX_get_data_double(3)\fP after 
calling \fBPX_get_record(3)\fP or by simply using the 
double value in the pxval_t struct as returned by 
\fBPX_retrieve_record(3)\fP. A timestamp contains both 
time and date information. The format string contains chars which stand 
for certain values of the date/time. The following table lists all 
available characters with a meaning. All other characters are being 
copied unmodified to the output string. If a special character shall not 
be interpreted it must be preceded with a backslash.
