Hi Paul,

maybe you want to add 1 before the QR operation!?

No, it's correct as is.  Months are 1-based, not 0-based; so the QR has to happen before the add.

Hi paul,

you're right!

I'm used to increment first followed by QR to limit to allowed range…

You can try the same aproach i used in a project of mine, using some native timestamp vis

Which LabVIEW version are you using? Have you tried to run this right now (month is 12 now)? At least in LabVIEW 2016 running this code will produce a null timestamp! So maybe they changed something in the last LabVIEW version to normalize the time cluster before converting it in a timestamp, but it is not a safe recommendation for at least until LabVIEW 2016.

2018 SP1 F1 is the same, that method is not recommended, that is unless you know you don't run tests in December, or any on the 29th, 30th, or 31st of any month.
