As you discovered though, you can concatenate several other macros. To trim @Year to two digits, use the Right() function. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

I am posting my end result as it might help some else. I wanted the date time in a format as to append to a file name on a scripted backup.

Code:

Global $filedatetime, $date, $time, $ampm
usdatetime()
$filedatetime = $date + " " + $time + $ampm
? $filedatetime


Function usdatetime()
	$hour = SubStr("@time",1,2)
	Select
		Case Val("$hour") < 12
			$ampm = "am"
		Case Val("$hour") > 18
			$ampm = "pm"
		Case 1
			$ampm = "pm"
	EndSelect
	$date = Split(@date ,"/")
	$time = Split(@time ,":")
	$date = "" + Val($date[1]) + "-" + Val($date[2]) + "-" + SubStr($date[0],3)
	$time = "" + Val($time[0]) + Val($time[1]) + SubStr($time[0],3)
EndFunction
