This example shows how the entire date/time value can be formatted in a single call:
$DateTime (simple-variable-value format-string)
Where: format-string: a date and time pattern
Note: $DateTime does not include the parameter lang-code for presenting date and time patterns in a language other than the designated default language.
Example:
$DateTime (${CT}, "EEE dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss Z")
