Directives substituting a time string (e.g. $$LASTMOD$$ and $$TIME$$) have a default format the same as displayed at the bottom of this page, and can take an optional, dollar-separated parameter, specifying an alternate strftime() format string, or "VMS", "VMS20", "VMS17" and "VMS11" to report times in a VMS format.
