This function returns the date and time a file was initialized, in YYDDDMMHHSSTH format.

The $FIniTim function accepts one arguments and returns either a null string or a string in YYDDDHHMMSSTH format.

%time = $FIniTim(fname)

%time	A null string if the file is not open, or it is it is the date and time that the file was initialized in YYDDDHHMMSSTH format.
