About predefined date-and-time formats
You can include predefined date-and-time formats in a file name by using a keyword. Exact order and output depends on the locale. Table 5‑6 lists the predefined date-and-time format keywords and the expression to which each keyword evaluates in a document. Examples and results that have a file-name extension are document names. Examples and results that do not have a file‑name extension are version names. The results are for the English (US) locale.
