SYNOPSIS
#include <paradox.h>
char * PX_timestamp2string(pxdoc_t *pxdoc, double timestamp, const char

DESCRIPTION
Creates a string representation of a paradox timestamp as specified in
the parameter format. The timestamp must be either retrieved with
PX_get_data_double(3) after calling PX_get_record(3) or by simply using
the double value in the pxval_t struct as returned by
PX_retrieve_record(3). A timestamp contains both time and date
information. The format string contains chars which stand for certain
values of the date/time. The following table lists all available
characters with a meaning. All other characters are being copied
unmodified to the output string. If a special character shall not be
interpreted it must be preceded with a backslash.
