Fractions of a second

[PT21]

Hi, 

I'm trying to get a time stamp, converted to a string through format date time, to show fractional seconds. Tried using the %u function but it doesnt seem to respond. Tired to put digits in between the % and u, eg %3u. Still doesnt show. Is it because of the format Im display it in I32?

Thanks.

Why are you using "u"?

Try %.3X.

Also you could use the Format into String function.  It's default format gives you time with 3 decimals as well as the date.

Thanks for the reply but that doesnt give me the accuracy I require. Please see attached pictures. The time returned has hour minute second, then 12. Instead I want it to read 975. How do I do that?

Why not do this. Change the format to floting point and as many digits of percision as you need.

You need to add a "u" in your format string   %H%M%S%.3u%X    and you need to use the "FRAC/EXP string to number" conversion with a "DBL" indicator. You are using a conversion which will only show integer numbers
