Time Serialization

[RicardoCuevas]

Anyone have idea how to realize a product serialization automatically with the following format?

DDDMMYYYY

Where DDD can be 001 to 365, MM can be 00 to 12 and YYYY can be 0000 to 9999.

Thanks.

What about using FormatIntoString with 3 numeric inputs and a format of "%03d%02d%04d"?

Or use FormatIntoString (or FormatDateTimeString) with a timestamp and a format of "%j%m%Y". (Be aware of limitations for timestamps and their formatting in LabVIEW!)

Which month gets the number "00"?
