'''Syntax:''' DateTime(FormatString)

'''Discussion:''' The DateTime function uses the input string as a formatting template to form an output string containing date and time elements.

The Input string can contain any text as well as the special formatting elements as listed below. Any characters not part of a format element will be copied to the output string without change.

The Format elements are:

%a = Abbreviated weekday name
%A = Full weekday name
%b = Abbreviated month name
%B = Full month name
%c = Date and time representation appropriate for locale
%d = Day of month as decimal number (01 – 31)
%H = Hour in 24-hour format (00 – 23)
%I = Hour in 12-hour format (01 – 12)
%j = Day of year as decimal number (001 – 366)
%m = Month as decimal number (01 – 12)
%M = Minute as decimal number (00 – 59)
%p = Current locale’s A.M./P.M. indicator for 12-hour clock
%S = Second as decimal number (00 – 59)
%U = Week of year as decimal number, with Sunday as first day of week (00 – 53)
%w = Weekday as decimal number (0 – 6; Sunday is 0)
%W = Week of year as decimal number, with Monday as first day of week (00 – 53)
%x = Date representation for current locale
%X = Time representation for current locale
%y = Year without century, as decimal number (00 – 99)
%Y = ear with century, as decimal number
%z, %Z = Time-zone name or abbreviation; no characters if time zone is unknown
%% = Percent sign
%#c = Long date and time representation, appropriate for current locale
%#x = Long date representation, appropriate to current locale
%#d, %#H, %#I, %#j, %#m, %#M, %#S, %#U, %#w, %#W, %#y, %#Y = Remove leading zeros
