Usage notes
- If you want to use the result of this method as, or in connection with,
the StartTime parameter of the AppendJournalData function,
be sure to remove the leading century indicator, because that parameter must be specified in
YYDDDHHMISSXXformat.For example, you can use the intrinsic Substring function, as shown in the "test for time values that are out of range" in "Journal example".
